📍 Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture | Iozan Hida Kokubunji Temple

#GlobalTravel

Ancient temple hidden outside the old streets of Takayama
Here is an unexpected and lovely discovery 🌟

Go to the temple gate
You will be greeted not only by the solemn Buddhist temple
but by the Hida dolls (飛騨だるま) guarding this tranquility
The wooden Hida dolls of all sizes, in red and white festive appearance
light up every corner of the thousand-year-old temple 🎎

Special recommendation:
🔸Don't miss collecting the Hida dolls Goshuin when you visit
🔸The mini Hida doll wishing place in the courtyard
🔸It is said that the Hida dolls here can bring good luck and peace

Although the temple is not on the popular tourist route
It hides a strong local flavor and warm little surprises ✨
