Chukurin Ji Temple in Kochi. It was clean, nice and serene climate. Lots of walking on the rugged hills, terrains and uneven paths to the different parts of the temple.
It was s quiet and solemn place.
Do not miss this when you visit kochi japan.
You can feel their culture here.
It was hot so bring your water when you visit around august.
MUST VISIT THIS PLACE DURING THE FALL!
It's the MOST GORGEOUS temple of all the 88 temples in Shikoku, especially if you like autumn leaves and dislike big crowds.
The temple is a perfect place to wander about and to take photos everywhere. It's huge, and needs about 1.5 to 2 hours to completely explore, including the Skydeck that's a 5-min walk from the main entrance.
We arrived here at 10am on a weekday in mid-Dec and were blown away at how peaceful this place was and how GORGEOUS the autumn fall leaves were... just look at my photos!
We spent 2 weeks visiting >10 temples across the island and was stunned at how lovely the autumn leaves were here.
Parking is also free which is an added bonus. This place will forever leave great memories in my heart... such a special and serene place to reflect, pray and to take photos.
Come here during the fall... if you love the autumn leaves and want to get good photos, you must NOT MISS this temple!
A beautiful temple. The surrounding grounds are also very nice.
Very beautiful and calm, one of my favorite temples so far. And the pretty Japanese garden that is on temple grounds was absolutely worth a visit.
