千入の森


千入の森の約100本のモミジは、春に芽吹くと青々とした緑に染まります。秋が訪れて涼しくなると、葉は鮮やかな金褐色や朱色に変化していきます。「千入」とは、秋の深まりとともにモミジが色づくように、何度も染料に浸した布が色鮮やかに染まっていく様子をイメージしています。花交の池の近くにあり、弁財天堂や西野稲荷神社から園路を挟んだところにあります。


Chishionomori Grove


The approximately 100 maple trees at Chishionomori Grove turn lush green when they bud in spring. When the weather cools in autumn, the foliage changes vivid auburn and vermilion. “Chishio” evokes the way cloth, dipped into dye multiple times, turns into ever-more vivid colors, just as do maple leaves with the deepening of autumn. The grove is located near Kakonoike Pond and across the garden path from the Benzaitendo Temple and the Nishino Inari Shrine.
