About Bara-e Shikiki & Eto Matsuri
- Stroll the Rose Garden: With 2,000 rose bushes across 200 varieties, the garden is a breathtaking sight. Take a peaceful walk through the blooms before or after the procession.
- Traditional Rituals: Witness unique cultural sights, such as the zodiac-masked performers and children in ancient Tenpyo-era attire, which are rarely seen elsewhere.
- Rose-Themed Tea Time: Visit the "Priere" tea terrace on the temple grounds to enjoy rose tea or rose coffee. It is the perfect way to soak in the floral atmosphere.
