Muryōju-ji, Buddhist temple in Chiryu, Japan
Muryoju-ji Temple features a spacious iris garden spanning 13,000 square meters, containing 30,000 Japanese iris plants that bloom during May.
The temple was established in 704 during the Keiun period and later transferred to its current location in 822 by the monk Mitsuen.
The site holds significance as the setting of a famous poem by Ariwara no Narihira, which influenced the traditional Japanese card game Hanafuda.
The temple museum operates from April to June, displaying cultural artifacts including bamboo crafts, memorial towers, and historical documents.
A traditional belief states that tying a single blade of miscanthus grass at the temple grants wishes, making it a destination for relationship seekers.
