Kyuan-ji Temple

久安寺

Osaka · Kansai

Kyuan-ji is a Shingon temple in the hills above Ikeda, north of Osaka, with a national-treasure-grade Kamakura gate and a pond garden below the main hall. Around a thousand hydrangea shrubs are planted through the precinct. In early summer the temple floats cut hydrangea heads on the water of its pond, which is what most visitors come for.

Why we picked it

Forty minutes from Umeda and known almost entirely to Osakans; it is on the Kansai flower-temple circuit rather than any tourist route.
