Jonan-Gu Shrine and Grounds part 1

We are going to have to upload this in multiple parts as it was just... You'll see.

The first part is the beautiful temple, shrines and grounds of the area. They were extremely well kept, with gorgeous architectural details. It really was a beautiful complex with so many gorgeous flowers! I think the photos speak for themselves.

Also, a side note, the early bird gets the worm. We walked straight into the ticketed plum garden area without waiting a minute. By the time we returned, the line was all the way down to the lower shrine. Their website did warn that wait times to get into the plum garden could be up to ninety minutes, so we were very grateful to have gotten in so quickly (it was absolutely packed inside though, which you'll see why soon!)Læs mere
