Yamaga Nichirin-Ji
1607 Sugi, Yamaga City Kumamoto Prefecture (Nichirin-ji Park)
Nichirinji Temple preserves numerous historic relics such as the Buddhist pagoda/"Gorinto" (or "five-ring tower") for Ryoshinsokakuni, the daughter of Kikuchi Takekoku, as well as a monument which contains hairs of Forty-seven Ronin - Oishi Yoshio and 17 others from this samurai clan (their honorable acts of loyalty and sacrifice are still strongly honored throughout Japan today).
Not only is this temple known for retaining historically significant tokens, but also is known for the park with a small mountain growing azalea flowers in the spring time; hence the nickname "Nichirinji Tsutsuji (Azalea) Park". During the season between the end of March to the middle of May, the view of the hill on which some 35,000 azaleas and 200 cherry blossoms captures the eyes of the visitors with the absolute beauty. The entire park will be lit up with Japanese paper lanterns till 9pm at night during this season.
