Autumn Leaves, Hot Springs, Seasonal Fruit, and Local Dishes!!
You may recall that we have taken you to the Tendo City in Yamagata Prefecture this summer. Delicious cherries and relaxing hot springs are things that visitors cannot forget after visiting this beautiful city in the northern part of Japan! Earlier pages are here:
A Taste of Tendo City
Our Story in Tendo City! Part I
Our Story in Tendo City! Part II
This time, we will take you to Tendo City again to see what's interesting in Autumn! Let's go!!
A famous temple with 1300 years history
Jakushouji (若松寺) on Reiryuuzan (鈴立山)
On top of the Reiryuuzan,, there is a famous temple Jakushouji which was built back in the Nara period about 1300 years ago. In autumn, you can also see the temple surrounded by beautiful autumn leaves.
Make a Wish
It is said that shaking hands with the "Chief Monk" of the temple can bring you good matchmaking chance!! Because of this saying, many young Japanese people come to Jakushouji and hope that they can get some luck on their love affair. (Note: Since the Chief is famous and busy, all visitors are required to make an advance reservation if they want to meet him.)
A Natural Gallery – Autumn Leaves in Jakushouji
We were very lucky to see snow covering the autumn leaves that day!! What a coincidence!!
No matter whether you are interested in natural or history, Jakushouji is a good sightseeing spot for you to visit.
