    (Translated by Google) I couldn't go to Corona for a while, but I visited for the first time in a long time. Please write this month's red stamp, and this month's paper-cutting peony, wisteria, and Jizo's motif. It was under construction and it became beautiful in the garden while I didn't come for a while. The red stamp changes every month, so I visit the temple from time to time. By the way, the shooting location of Takeru Sato, Yuzo Kayama of Donbei. (Original) コロナで暫く行けなかったが久しぶりに参拝した。今月の御朱印を書いていただき、今月の切り絵牡丹と藤とお地蔵さんのモチーフフ。今工事中で暫く来なかった間に庭なで綺麗になった。毎月御朱印が変わるので時々伺うお寺。ちなみにどん兵衛の加山雄三さん佐藤健の撮影場所。

    Beautiful place with several themed festivals that are worth a visit. I went for the wind chime festival. It was hot but a refreshing wind blew all the time. There's a little building to buy things that's air conditioned and in front was a big ventilator. There's a small parking lot down the road to the temple. I think there are more lots in the area.

    Good place for photography. You can visit by bus. If you are coming by car, It is a 3 to 4-minute walk from the parking. There was enough space for the parking. Anyway, there were 2nd parking spaces also but a little bit ahead. Parking was free.

    You would like the variety of Goshuin calligraphy available at this temple. Be sure to check what you ordered - the priest often makes mistake ; )

    I went there a year ago but I want to write a review since it’s a really nice place. You can walk around the temple and see mountains. It’s a bit pricey because there are many places to see autumn leaves for free in gunma. But leaves reflected on the shiny floor is very instagramable. I couldn’t go there this year unfortunately but I hope I can visit there again next year.

    Recommend : It’s not crowded in Golden Week. This is a small temple, which gives a deep impression. The staff are very friendly. You can see the blooming peony flowers, Bodhisattva. I like to come to such a wonderland in Golden Week. Recommend the corn that can be bought there. It is very sweet and juicy. Entry fee : ¥800 / person

    the relaxing sound of furin (wind chimes) and the sound of Japanese cicadas make the summer heat more bearable. 🥲

    Floor is under tatami. Appears to be in midst of massive renovations. Very modern in places. Parking lot reserved for construction workers and visitors to the cemetery. Still worth the visit.

    The whole place can be covered in under thirty minutes. The mirror-like polished floors that reflect the maple trees are indeed a pretty sight. Hotokuji Temple Kiryu, Gunma ¥1000/person ¥500/parking

    Lovely to visit. I really liked the garden. The grounds are nestled into a beautiful little pocket of nature with gorgeous autumn colours in the mountains around. Could not see the room with the reflective floor as I guess I went just after the end of the season.

    Not a first time visitor of Hotokuji but it was a first time to see everything light up on a chilly autumn evening. Absolutely beautiful and highly recommend this temple.
