Garden
dig

Tourin-in temple is a small temple in Myoushin-ji temples. This Tourin-in temple is famous for its beautiful garden but not open for public usually.

But only 2 weeks in the year we can go inside of this temple because these 2 weeks should be best season for the garden. Sara-souju (white camellia) flowers are open and fall to the moss ground. Sara-souju flower open in the morning, and fall within the day. we can see the many flowers on the moss and few flowers on the tree. The scene of the fallen flowers are quite beautiful. I visited there first time in my life.
