Kenkon-in Temple

Flow of the course

About this spot

The family temple of the Mizuno clan (水野氏), who ruled this area, located in Ogawa (緒川), Higashiura Town. It is known as a temple connected to the man who was Lady Odai's father, and its grounds, ringed by groves, are wrapped in a quiet you would not expect in town. Even in the short time it takes to walk the approach, it is striking how the names you read at the museum start to feel close at hand. This is not a large tourist facility, so quietly putting your hands together and taking a short walk is just the right way to spend the time. It gives the family a calm moment before the afternoon water play.

Tips

This is a place of worship, so tell children beforehand not to run around. There may be times when the grounds are closed for memorial services and the like. On strongly sunny days, walk in the shade and be sure to bring drinks.

Best time to visit

About 35 minutes. The quiet hours of the morning are recommended
