Hasedera 長谷寺


Hasedera-7, originally uploaded by sleepytako.
I went to Hase temple last weekend. Nase temple is hidden in a small river valley in southern Nara prefecture and known for its botan (peaony) flowers. We came a week too early sadly and the flowers had yet to bloom. When they bloom the stairs up to the temple are bordered by hundreds of those flowers. I'll have to go again. I did take a few photos. The set can be seen here.
