Meigetsuin Temple was founded in 1160, and later became a Zen temple and worship the Kannon bodhisattva, Goddess of Mercy.

The Temple has so many hydrangeas that it is known as Hydrangea Temple

The temple's interior features a nice circular window, which

frames the scenery of the inner garden behind it. The inner garden is known for its irises and is open to visitors only during two periods of about two weeks per year: in June when the irises are in bloom, and in late November/early December when the autumn colors are at their best. The moon window of enlightenment was absolutely scenic & tranquil although you cannot walk on the corridor to go near the window but you can take the picture outside. There is also a small bamboo forest, a rabbit and wild squirrels running around its beautiful garden with flora.
