Tips from locals
正式名称は「華厳寺」であるが、四季を通してスズムシを飼育しているため、通称「鈴虫寺」と呼ばれている。 KEGONJI TEMPLE got its nick name "suzumushi dera" which literally means cricket temple, because the monks of the temple raise bell crickets and they sing all year round.
One such delightful oddity is Kegon-ji, or more famously known as Suzumushi-dera, the “Cricket Temple.”
the temple is famous for its sound of bell crickets^^ It's said that your wish come true^^
