Crowded but had a fun time up there finding blooming lotus. Hopefully your future climbs up will be worth it to you. I didn’t bother with the lines because I’m not particularly religious or auspicious but the temple was beautiful regardless.

Mimuroto-ji and hydrangea garden - a beautiful temple and garden full of hydrangea. We were there at around 9:30 am and the garden was already filled with people. There is an entrance fee for adult 1000 ¥ and children 500 ¥. There is a 5 to 10 minutes walk from the gate to the garden. You can probably easily spend an hour or two to enjoy the hydrangea garden. Once you are done with the garden, there is another 10 to 15 minutes walk up hill steps to the Mimuroto temple.

Loved the hydrangeas and various flowers here. Had to walk about 15-20 minutes uphill from the bus stop. We went in early July and the flowers were still very much in full bloom. Paid 1000 Yen each (adult) for the entrance tickets. No pre-booking required, you may just purchase it at the counter. Was generally a quiet place which was not too crowded on a weekend morning. Love the tranquility:)

Visited on 23 June 2023. Simply stunning with a sea of hydrangeas blooming against the zen temple and lotus pond

One of the main component of tourist attraction in Uji, Kyoto. I visit during the hot sunny day, yet many visitors still come to enjoy the beauty of this temple. You can pray here by buying the 100Yen incense. More, you can try to touch the egg in the rabbit stomach or cow's mouth. You can enjoy and have a bit walk around this place to observe the beauty.
