This is a very ancient temple complex. It is especially beautiful during rainy season (It is famous for, and rightly so, it’s stunning array of hydrangeas. In fall, it is surrounded by vibrant maples. And in winter, there are camellias of many varieties. The complex is undergoing restoration at this time so all areas are not accessible, but it is still worth the effort to go. Hopefully it will be even more visitor friendly when restoration is complete.

This was the family temple of the Matsudairas. It had fallen into a state of disrepair... virtually abandoned. When I visited there several years ago one could imagine its former glory, but it was in need of some major maintenance. I’m happy to report that someone has been busy working on restoring this temple. Many areas have been spruced up and repaired. It is well worth a visit. I went there to photograph camellias. The last I visited they were very overgrown and hard to find. The experience this time was much improved. This place is known for its hydrangea, and there are signs of Sakura, maples, and ume ... promising a new look for each season.This is a place for those looking for a bit of peace and quiet and Japanese history. I’m looking forward to seeing how it progresses from here. I’ll be going again soon.

Fukōzu Matsudaira Family Bodaiji Temple. From Fukamizo to the Shimabara Domain via the Yoshida Domain, Kariya Domain, and Fukuchiyama Domain. And the Meiji era will come. I was wondering why the tomb of the Shimabara feudal lord was in Kota-cho, but I was convinced by the story of the temple. I could imagine a strong feeling of thinking about the hometown of the Fukōzu Matsudaira family. Successive tombs are still well protected. It is famous for its hydrangea temple, but you can also visit its history. Currently, the main hall (I was told that it is actually the back of the warehouse) is under construction and it will take about two years to complete.

The autumn leaves were very beautiful. It was a place where you can feel the history very much because it was well maintained. I would like to come to the hydrangea season this time.

Hydrangea is famous, but the autumn leaves were also beautiful I donated it to a box in the parking lot because it will need some care to keep it clean. I want you to continue to show me beautiful things
