Fall colors during rainy season at Daishoin (大聖院)
Rain @ Daisho-in on Miyajima
Daishoin is famous for its maple leaves in autumn. However, I thought they looked pretty good on a rainy day in June.
I have been to many temples all over Japan, but my experience at Daishoin may have been my favorite. Probably because of the rain, I was about the only person there so that may have had a lot to do with the wonderfulness. Kobo Daishi (弘法大師) founded the place so it was interesting to see Daishoin during the same summer in which I spent a night on Koya San.
