#Tokyo Attractions The Horin-ji Temple near Waseda University in Tokyo is famous for its gorgeous flower-water pavilion, which is considered the most beautiful flower-water pavilion in Japan. The exterior of Falun Temple is somewhat mottled, exuding a sense of history. In summer, several strings of wind chimes are hung around the temple. The crisp sound of the bells sways gently with the breeze, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet space. The most famous thing about Horinji Temple is its seasonal goshuin. Every month, the temple releases goshuin in different colors and flower themes, which are known for their delicate and elegant hollow designs. The distinct layers of flowers and delicate petals and leaves on each goshuin seal perfectly combine the characteristics of flowers with the solemnity of the goshuin seal. Such a design not only demonstrates exquisite craftsmanship, but also makes people feel the purifying power of natural beauty. I couldn't help but buy several as a wonderful souvenir of this visit. 🌸Attractions: Mannensan Horinji Temple 📍Address: 1-1-15 Nishi-Waseda, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, Japan ⏰Goshuin Receipt Time: 9:00-12:30/13:00-16:00 #日本旅行 #东京旅行 #东京寺 #御朱印

Horin-ji Temple was founded by the monk Nichiken in 1669. Its official name is "Mannen-san Horin-ji Temple." It is very close to Waseda University and just a stone's throw from Ana Hachiman-gu Shrine, known for its "Ichiyou Raifu" (return of the sun). It is located on a small hill at the top of a flight of stone steps. Horin-ji Temple became popular overnight because of its beautiful flower water basin and its carefully selected temple seals. It also makes use of Instagram, so I think it's a temple with a strong message. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ❥❥ Horinji Temple 🚉Waseda Station →🚶‍♀️About 3 minutes walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #Horinji Temple #Shrines and Temples #Temples and Temples #Solo Travel #Tokyo Trip #Tokyo Sightseeing
