Chikurin-in Temple Gunpoen Garden
Yoshino, in the mountains of southern Nara, is and was a centre of Shugendo, the mountain-worshipping cult, but is now most famous for its cherry blossoms, although the Shugendo sites are part of a World Heritage Site.
The temple claims to have been founded by Prince Shotoku which would mean late 6th or early 7th century and it was called Chinzan Dera. A couple of centuries later Kukai visited and changed its name to Josen-ji.
What is often mentioned in reference to the garden here is that several cherry trees play a prominent part in the design and that this is quite rare in standard Japanese garden design. When I visited in November, the cherry trees were bare but a few maples were in full colour.

Settsu Kokubunji Temple 7 Kinki Fudo Myoo Pilgrimage
This text is from an earlier post that was of photos of Taiyuji Temple, number 6 on the pilgrimage that I mistakingly thought was number 7 Kokubunji. I have now edited that post and added relevant information about Taiyuji. Sorry.
