<Guide Memo>伝法院のお庭を見る前に、浅草寺お宝の絵馬を見ることができます。絵馬といっても大絵馬。
1M~2Mの見応えがある絵馬が並んでいます。
お庭を公開するときは、大抵この絵馬も一緒に公開するようです。なのでお庭の他に絵馬の知識も要。
お庭は不定期に公開しています。(毎年というわけではありません。)
公開しているときは、回遊式日本庭園を見せるチャンス。
コンパクトですが、本坊、五重塔、お庭と見どころが詰まっています。無料で煎茶のサービスもあり。
庭園には桜、フジ、つつじ、菖蒲など春の花は一通りありました。
所用時間は、絵馬展15分+お庭15分+お茶10分?=40分程度
桜の季節は混雑するので要注意

Small Japanese Garden in Sensoji, Asakusa
Sensoji temple in Asakusa is the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo dates back to 628.
It is a must place to visit and most visitors enjoy the main temple and Nakamise shopping arcade on its ground.
↑Inside the main temple
↑Besides those, small Japanese garden is recommended.
Some of visitors skip or miss the garden. But it is absolutely beautiful.
Not so many people are there, so the garden is like your private garden, in which various kinds of plants including sakura or cherry blossoms and Japanese koi or carps can be seen.
↑The stone bridge was built in 1618 and the oldest stone bridge in Tokyo.
<Guide Memo>FITの時は、ここは、必ず案内します。
境内と仲見世の雑踏と違い、静かな小さなお庭。
小さいながらも、お庭の中で、東京最古の石橋、朝倉氏の彫刻を見ることができます。
鯉は、どのゲストも喜びます♪
