Kitain Garden

Kitain Garden is meant to be viewed only from the temple building itself. The garden is planted with plum, cherry, and maple trees and a variety of flowers. In this way, the garden can be enjoyed in many different seasons of Japan. In visiting Kitain Temple, the garden is often overlooked because of poor signage, but it is the furthermost temple room in back, so visitors should persist as it is the highlight of the temple, apart from the 500 rakan.
