Nyoirinji is a temple located in Ogori that is affectionately known as Kaeru-ji (frog temple). It is easy to see where the name comes from, given that the temple and its surrounding precincts are home to more than 8,000 frog-related items. Every year from June to September, the temple hosts the wind chime festival to give visitors the chance to pray for good health. Approximately 4,000 cool, refreshing wind chimes reflect the greenery of the surrounding area. The sounds of all the chimes blowing in the wind work in unison to create impressive musical notes. You can also write your prayer on a wind chime and give it to the temple as an offering (¥500 per chime).
