Jikko - in Temple

Jikko - in Temple was built as a place of residence for priest of chanting and public speaking used in ceremonies and memorial services of Japanese Buddhism. Each of the chapels are adorned with paintings of the 36 Shisen Images of Shisendo. Water from the falls of Ritsu River flows into the Keishinen Garden. The area in front of the pond is supposed to be of this world, while the other side is the paradise of the Buddha. The Fudan-Zakura cherries in the garden bloom in November, so that people can enjoy the cherry blossoms and autumn leaves at the same time.
