東大寺別院 阿弥陀寺
'Hydrangea Temple' bursts with 80 varieties and 4,000 blooms each June, carpeting the hillside in color.
Known locally as 'Hydrangea Temple,' Amidaji earns its nickname from the stunning display of over 80 varieties and 4,000 hydrangea plants that carpet the hillside grounds each June. Blooms in shades of purple, blue, pink, and white create one of western Japan's most spectacular early summer flower displays. Beyond hydrangea season, the temple's hilltop grounds offer peaceful garden walks and views over the city of Hofu.
Purify your hands at the temizuya before approaching the main hall. Left hand first, then right, then pour water into your left hand to rinse your mouth.
