Kongorinji Garden -These 500-year old gardens have been designated a Place of Scenic Beauty and it’s no wonder. Beautiful in any season. The Ikezumi strolling garden at Kongorinji known as Myojuin though its creator is unknown, is especially popular during autumn. This pond-viewing garden is intended to be viewed from the main hall, but these three combined gardens are connected as one, and the feeling of a strolling garden that goes around gardens of different times is now stronger because of it. The colorful autumn leaves in deep red in late autumn are wonderful, it is the most spectacular garden in the three mountains of Koto.
