Koun-ji Temple in Takasaki City

This is another interesting place to stop for a visit.




I think these rounded trees are very cool.

The trees are unique and so is the prayer wheel. Did you rotate it instead of saying the sutra out loud?

This temple also looks more like a temple rooted in the region rather than a tourist spot. But than doesn't mean you should’t go sightseeing. Most temples in Japan welcome everyone.
The wooden signboard says that you should mutter a very short sutra as you spin the prayer wheel.
It takes a lot of time to read all the sutras, but if you mutter a few words and spin the prayer wheel once, you will be able to receive blessings as if you have read all the sutras.
I think it's God’s wise plan.

Someone put a lot of work into getting these trees in shape!
