Spider Lilies 彼岸花 at Saihō-ji 西芳寺

Updated: Apr 15


A scenic spot to see different colors of spider lilies. The entrance leading up to the temple are lined with white, yellow, and red spider lilies, as well as some pink lilies up near the grounds of the temple. It gets quite busy, so it's best to get there early.


Where: 2586 Nippacho, Kohoku Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 223-0057

When: Mid-Late September

How much: Free!

Website (Japanese): https://saihouji-yokohama.com/



The Chōzu-ya (water basin for washing hands to enter the shrine) was filled with spider lilies.

There were a few butterflies flying around which were difficult to take photos of but if you get a shot of one it's really beautiful.

Special seasonal goshuin is available for 500 JPY. Check their instagram close to when they're in bloom for the dates that they will be offering it.

As you can see it's VERY busy during this time so it was impossible for me to get a nice shot of the flowers leading up to the entrance of the shrine.
