I visited the azalea sightseeing “Shiofune Kannon-ji Temple”.

Goma-do.
Although it is the biggest building, it is strange that it is not a cultural property.

There are plenty of places to see other than the azalea?

I noticed that there are many “autumn leaves” walking along the way to the Kannon.
Shiofune Kannon-ji Temple is famous for “azalea” and “hydrangea”, but maybe you can visit the season of autumn leaves.
