Nyoiji, Buddhist temple in Kyōtango, Japan

The temple grounds feature extensive gardens filled with seasonal flowers, particularly 10,000 three-leaved azaleas that create a pink display during April.

Founded in the 1300s by Indian sage Hodo, Nyoiji Temple once included 24 sub-temples covering an area of 1,744 meters east to west and 1,308 meters north to south.

The temple maintains its status as one of the 25 Kansai Flower Temples and hosts the Higiri Fudo-son Festival in spring and Sen-nichi-e Festival in summer.

Located a 20-minute walk from Kumihama Station and two and a half hours by car from Kyoto Station, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 to 17:00.

The Fudo-do hall combines Japanese, Chinese, and Indian architectural elements, making it an exceptional structure within Japanese temple architecture.
