I don’t feel refreshed.
Is there anything to distract me?
SARUDONO,
At times like this,
the best thing to do is to see something beautiful!
Right now, the roses at Ryousenji Temple in Nara are at their best!
The garden is about 1,200 square meters in area.
The garden is filled with 2,000 roses of 200 varieties!
(SARUDONO)
It looks quite impressive~.
In our Edo period,
chrysanthemums and morning glories were popular.
Roses were depicted in ukiyoe woodblock prints.
Most of the roses depicted in Ukiyoe were from China,
such as the Koshinbara.
Western roses did not come to Japan
until the Meiji Era.
By the way,
There are hundreds of varieties of roses produced in the world every year.
It is said that there are more than 30,000 varieties and more than 50,000 varieties.
(SARUDONO)
A hell of a lot！！
The temple was built in 1957 by the temple’s then abbot,
who was interned in Siberia during World War II,
He hoped that visitors to the temple will feel peace of mind
when they see the flowers and know the importance of peace.
(SARUDONO)
If so, is the garden located in the “demon’s gate“?
That is right!
The garden is located in the northeast, the demon’s gate.
But, Saru-dono,
How did you know?
(SARUDONO)
There was a custom
to plant a spiky tree at the demon’s gate.
I see!
So that’s why he planted a rose with spikes!
I’m learning a lot!
(SARUDONO)
ho-ho-ho。
Saru-dono,
Roses are in bloom
from early May to mid-June
&
From the middle of October to the beginning of November

What if I get hungry?
No need to worry!
In the garden, there is a tea terrace called Priele,
Rose coffee, rose ice cream, etc. are available.
During the peak rose season (early May to mid-June & mid-October to early November),
