What other travelers are saying about Tsubosakadera Temple
We arrived to the temple and were amazed by how beautiful everything was! We were there during the cherry blossom season (early April) and it was beautiful. Considering it was the tourist season, there were very few people!
We arrived with a car so it was easy for us to get around.
Highly recommend coming here!
Went here after the cherry blossom viewing season since it’s pretty crowded at that time.
The place is serene and mesmerizing, pictures wont be able to describe the awe and experience you’ll get to feel when you visit the place.
Expect a lot of walking and climbing but I’d say it’s worth it.
If you are in nara be sure to go here and go as early as possible to beat the crowds.
The temple is covered with blooming cherry blossoms, peaceful and beautiful. The road to the temple is quite narrow, through the forest and suitable for private cars or tourist cars. Worth a visit.
If you want to see a very old place, where every Dynasty since more than 800 years, have built extension, you should visit this beautiful place in the middle of nowhere.
A zen place to relax and meditate.
Spectacular temple on the Saikoku 33 pilgrimage with remarkable stone carvings and statues. Worth visiting any season but spring and autumn especially good.
