A Journey to Rejuvenate Your Soul at Tenkaizan Taiunji Temple Amid Stunning Autumn Foliage

Nestled in the mountains of Iitaka Town, Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture, "Tenkaizan Taiunji Temple" is a serene Soto Zen temple located at an altitude of approximately 500 meters. Known as the "Kannon of Child Blessing," the temple is beloved for its seasonal beauty—cherry blossoms and rhododendrons in spring, lush greenery in summer, and vibrant autumn foliage in fall 🌸🌿🍁. Autumn is particularly breathtaking, with the temple grounds adorned by colorful leaves and the prefecture-designated cultural property, the "Octagonal Bronze Bell," creating a mesmerizing scene. I visited in mid-November, when fallen leaves painted the ground red, resembling a natural red carpet✨. Amid the tranquility punctuated by the resonating sound of the bell, the time spent connecting with nature felt cleansing for the soul. It's incredible that such stunning views and soothing experiences are available for free—truly perfect for a "journey of the heart." 🚃【Access】 - Address: 631 Haze, Iitaka Town, Matsusaka City, Mie Prefecture - By car: About 1 hour from "Matsusaka IC" on the Ise Expressway (via Route 166) - Parking: 7 spaces at the entrance to the approach, 2 spaces near the main hall (both free and wheelchair accessible) 🅿️ * Note: The roads are narrow and steep, so drive carefully! 🧭【Travel Tips】 - Best time for autumn foliage: Mid-November to early December 🍂 - The path to the main hall includes about 130 stone steps—wear comfortable walking shoes 👟 - Recommended photo spots: Octagonal Bronze Bell, pond with koi fish, and the autumn foliage water basin 📷 - Nearby "Haze Station" offers Matsusaka beef bowls and game meat dishes 🍴 - Visit early in the morning or on weekdays to avoid crowds and enjoy a relaxed experience ⛩️
