Jikkō-in, Buddhist temple and sangha residence in Ōhara, Japan
The Keishin-en Garden includes a pond shaped like the Japanese character for heart, with water flowing from the Ritsusen River through a waterfall.
Originally constructed in 1013 as monk quarters called Jikkō-bō, the temple moved to its current location in 1919 between Sanzen-in and Shōrin-in temples.
The Kyakuden Guest Hall displays paintings of 36 Chinese poets along with instruments used in traditional Buddhist shōmyō chanting ceremonies.
Visitors receive matcha green tea with traditional wagashi sweets while viewing the garden from the reception hall between 9:00 and 16:30 daily.
The garden contains fudan-zakura cherry trees that bloom from late autumn through spring, creating a simultaneous display with seasonal fall foliage.
