Join IT&T on a visit to two temples in Yamaguchi Prefecture. Amidaji Temple is well known as “Hydrangea Temple”. The temple grounds are now planted with around 4,000 hydrangea plants from eighty different varieties. You have a chance to buy hydrangea flowers at the temple.
Joeiji Temple is a Zen temple famous for its garden, Sesshutei. As its name suggests, the garden was built by the well-known monk, painter, and garden designer Sesshu. It is a live representation of one of Sesshu's landscape paintings. Completed about 500 years ago, Sesshutei utilizes many vertically upright rocks, a style of rock arrangement distinct from the Muromachi Period (1333–1573 AD).
