Uda: Hasedera and Muroji Temples - A Flower Temple Pilgrimage
Beginning with the covered corridor of Hasedera, the "Temple of Flowers," this course takes you to Ono-ji Temple with its cliff-carved Buddha and Muroji, known as the "Women's Koyasan." Slowly explore these ancient temples with your partner, surrounded by the seasonal colors of azaleas and autumn leaves. Finish with an art walk through the Muroji Sanjo Park Art Museum and a quiet visit to Muroji Ryugetsutsu Shrine, with its dragon deity legend. Featuring views from the main hall stage and the iconic five-story pagoda, this refined temple-visiting course offers healing in the mountain village air of Oku-Yamato.
