The peony flowers here are the most beautiful ones I have ever seen, so elegant under the paper umbrellas. Besides the main garden "Jodo Teien" in Okuin, be sure to check out the small garden "Koguen" in the neighboring Nakanobo, where you would feel you are walking in an ocean of peonies. The staff and monks here are also really nice and welcoming!
在这里第一次看到牡丹搭配了油纸伞,伞下随风摇曳的牡丹真是太优雅太美了。可能因为防晒做得到位,这里的牡丹比起长谷寺的,花瓣滋润饱满很多。除了最有名的奥院里的“净土庭院”,也不要错过隔壁中之坊里的“香藕园”哦,这里的庭院虽小一些、但会感觉牡丹花群更紧凑,像是漫步在花丛中一样,眼花缭乱。寺里的和尚和员工人也超好,很热情!
