It is also known for its natural scenery that changes with the seasons: cherry blossoms and mountain azaleas in spring, fresh greenery in summer, colored leaves in autumn, and snowscapes in winter. You can enjoy the elegant scenery that you can enjoy both red autumn leaves at the same time.
The main hall, which was destroyed in the war, was rebuilt with a donation from Keishoin, the mother of the fifth shogun, Tsunayoshi Tokugawa.
