Katsuraki Kannon
This temple is located in the Takinoiri, Moroyama Town, Iruma County. It was founded by the monk Gyoki in the Nara period, and is said to have been named “Katsuragi” after Mt. Katsuragi in Yamato of ancient Japan. You can enjoy the night view of the heart of the city or the first sunrise of the New Year from the viewing platform set up about 300 meters above sea level. In addition to this being a famous spot to see hydrangea, the surrounding area is popular for growing yuzu citrus, and there is a walking path called “Yuzu Promenade” from the upper Katsuragi River to the temple grounds.
