Hasedera

Hasedera is a temple in Nara reached on foot from Hasedera Station, known for its flowers and autumn foliage. A stepped corridor and flower stairs lead up, and in front of the main hall is a terrace-like space similar to Cheongsu Temple. The climb from the station to the temple is a continuous slope with stairs, so walking there takes considerable time. The temple grounds are quiet, and the scenery is at its fullest when spring flowers bloom.
