Umenomiya Taisha Shrine Garden is yet another one of Kyoto’s hidden gems. Home to a gorgeous pond and sprawling garden, Umenomiya Taisha shows a variety of charming faces in spring as flowers like plum, cherry blossoms, azalea, iris and hydrangea bloom in colorful succession. Umenomiya Taisha has been known for centuries as a shrine associated with sake brewing and prayers related to childbirth and various items connected to both are scattered around the grounds. Umenomiya Taisha special feature is the garden that takes up most of the grounds, complete with a plum grove, paths lined with hydrangeas, vibrant azalea islands, and two ponds accented by irises. Each month of spring brings with it a different seasonal flower to enjoy, and with charming bridges and a traditional teahouse in the mix.
