Muryosan Komeiin Eifukuji in Higashi Komatsugawa
Muryosan Komeiin Eifukuji is standing along
Komatsugawa Sakaigawa Water Park. It is in the quiet residential areas at Higashi Komatsugawa
Edogwaku. The approach road of Eifukuji looks like a tunnel with colored leaves
in fall, and there is a bell tower on the right, a niomon gate on the middle
and the main hall on the end of the road, and they are decorated with the
beautiful leaves. It is a wonderful spot for seeing colored leaves without
worrying about time. Summer in Eifukuji is also attractive. It feels like
a mountain side since many green woods are surrounding the wooden buildings
and visitors could hide under them to rest and to protect from the strong
sunshine. The people could find the culture and history of Higashi Komatsugawa
when they visit Eifukuji. Why don't you visit it?
Eifukuji in Higashi Komatsugawa Edogawaku Tokyo is one of the best spots
in fall in Edogawaku. It is very impressed that many colored leaves over
the approach road of the temple look like a rainbow tunnel. Moreover, it
feels like that you are in the mountain when you sit on the steps in front
of the main hall of Eifukuji.
