TEXT:		Kodaiji Temple was founded in 1606 by Nene, who dedicated it to her husband, Hideyoshi Toyotomi after his death. The enchanting garden, lit up during the fall season, is worth viewing. The beauty of lights reflected on Garyuchi pond creates a mystic atmosphere. The inverted image of Kaizan-do hall surrounded by fall leaves that appear on the pond’s surface is so splendid that visitors find it difficult to avert their eyes.
