nana fushigi 七不思議 the seven wonders of temple Sorin-Ji
一つ木拍子
蛇頭水
山門の小僧
底無しの井戸
繋ぎ榧
逆さ桜
赤門の鶏
災難のある時、前兆として開山堂で拍子木の音がする。
どのような旱魃でも水が絶えない蛇頭水
夜な夜な小僧になって寺内を徘徊し人を驚かせた高欄にある木像。
赤門から抜き出て飛翔したという彫刻の鶴。
底無しの井戸。繋ぎ榧。逆さ桜。

雙林寺 Sorinji
Komochi Robai no Sato (子 持 老 梅 の 里 )
Komochi Robai no Sato garden stretches on an entire mountain side, owned by Shorinji (the Temple of the Seven Wonders).
Known as Robai "Wax Plum" in Japan, the Winter sweet, or Japanese Allspice tree bloom during the coldest time of the year, with beautiful flowers that have vibrant yellow, waxy petals and delicate fragrance.

Seeing this tree flowering in January makes you feel that winter won't last.
The best time to see these beautiful flowers is Mid-January to mid-Februar
