Ruins of Motoyakushiji Temple
Sep.
Clusters of water hyacinths grow on a 1.4- hectare paddy field near the ruins of Motoyakushiji Temple, a special historical site registered on Japan's Tentative List of World Heritage Sites. To the west, one can enjoy the view of Mt. Unebi, one of the three mountains of Yamato (considered places of scenic beauty,) with the Yamato Aogaki quasi-national park further at the back. Water hyacinths are a type of water grass that floats on the surface of the water and has purple flowers. The view of the purple flowers spreading all over the paddy field is an absolutely marvelous sight.
