Taimadera Temple Gonen'in

This is a sub temple of the Taimadera Temple, famous once the residence of Chujo-hime. Serving as a dressing room during the Nichiren memorial service held by the Taimadera on May 14, the sub-temple cares for all of the masks and costumes used in the ritual. The temple's garden makes use of Japan's only paired pagoda towers as part of its scenery and is planted with a variety of seasonal plants, including some 1,000 tree peonies, a group of 100-year-old great azaleas, and a three-hundred-year-old weeping cherry tree.
