Unseen Japan: A 2 Day Itinerary to Tour Matsumoto in Winter

Koshoji Temple

Japan, 667-0043 1156 Takayanagi, Yoka-cho, Yabu-shi, Hyogo Prefecture

Many people come to see the magnolia trees in spring and the white bush clover in early autumn. The magnolia trees in the temple grounds come in eight varieties of six colors, including white, pink, red, brocade, purple, and yellow, which bloom in turn from early April to early May. In autumn, from early September, about 500 white bush clover flowers bloom in abundance, filling the temple grounds and the approach to the temple. As a temple of flowers, the "flower sermons" are a popular tourist attraction at Koshoji Temple from spring to autumn. (Reservation required) There is also a statue of Kobo Daishi called "Nade Kobo," which is said to bring good luck if you rub the area you want to heal. [Admission fee] 300 yen
