Cosmos have helped more than a few Nara temples turn their fortunes around.

Abe Monju-in (安倍文殊院) creates a cosmos maze for guests to enjoy each autumn.
The temple started life as Sūke-ji (崇敬寺) in 645, founded by Abe-no-Kurahashimaro (安倍倉梯麻呂).

🙏BIG BUDDHA AMONGST THE COSMOS😇

Nara is one of the best places in Japan to see cosmos, and in recent years Hannya-ji (般若寺) has taken great efforts to make itself one of the best places in Nara to enjoy the flowers...
...that, and a very unusual soda🥤
