Wisteria at the Koyasu Jizoji Temple

This site, famous for its Wisteria, is located just a 15 minute drive from the JR Hashimoto Station. The Koyasu Jizoji Temple has been known since the Kishu Tokugawa family times as the temple for supplication for safe baby delivery. Selected as the 24th temple in the 25 Sacred Sites of Kansai Floral Temples (temples famous for beautiful flowers in the Kansai area). This temple is surrounded by 25 wisteria vines of 8 differing varieties including the kyushaku-fuji wisteria, kuchibeni-fuji wisteria, shironoda-fuji wisteria, and akanaga-fuji wisteria. During peak season, one can stroll through the blooms that encircle the precincts. Cherry and camellia trees are also planted here at the Koyasu Jizoji Temple, so flowers can be enjoyed during all seasons.
