【About Daitokuji Hoshun'in Bonsai Garden】
At Hoshun'in, a sub-temple of Daitokuji, you can enjoy a year-round bonsai garden—the first of its kind in a Zen temple. Over the course of time, many have crafted these bonsai with an appreciation for the "Buddha-nature in all things." The delicate beauty of these bonsai blends harmoniously with the Zen rock garden at Hoshun'in, creating a stunning display that reflects the changing seasons. Whether it's the fresh greenery of spring, the coolness of summer, the vibrant colors of autumn, or the tranquility of winter, each season offers a serene moment for peaceful reflection.
