Jouju-in Temple (成就院) is one of the sights commonly seen in the Elfen Lied manga/anime series. It is one of several important and magnificent Buddhist Temples around which many of the events in Elfen Lied take place. The temple is well known for its abundance of hydrangea flowers, which draw many visitors when in bloom. The temple authorities are, as of 2015, refurbishing the steps and replacing the hydrangea bushes, many of which are now more than 50 years old. The site will not be open to the public again until 2018.
