Hokokuji Temple (Takedera Temple) reviews
-
Beautiful small temple grounds with bamboo, moss & stone gardens. 200 yen to enter small garden with bamboo and extra 500 yen to have green tea. The grounds are comparatively small so best to avoid busy peak periods where possible if you want to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere.
-
Lovely place, very quiet with beautifully sculpted gardens and a bamboo forest. For an extra 500 yen they make you a traditional green tea to enjoy while you relax amongst the bamboo
