A famous Zen temple in Imadegawa [Shokokuji]
2021.6.28
[Rozanji Temple] near the Kyoto Imperial Palace is a bellflower temple named after the Tale of Genji.
Rozanji Temple is the site of Murasaki Shikibu's residence and is known as the place where he wrote The Tale of Genji. In the Genji Garden, a dry landscape garden, glossy purple bellflowers are in full bloom.
In early summer, green moss and vivid blue maples are beautiful and can be enjoyed together with bellflowers. The "Oni-odori" dance held every year on Setsubun, when people throw beans at ogres to pray for the eradication of evil spirits, is also well-known.
