The twenty-five Kansai flower temples () or twenty-five sacred Kansai flower temples () are a multi-sect association of twenty-five Japanese Buddhist temples in the Kansai region that are known for their flower and foliage displays. The organization was founded in 1993 and includes temples in the Hyà Âgo, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Shiga, and Wakayama Prefectures.
The abbots of each temple provide large groups of 10 or more a Buddhist flower sermon, and the flower temples are common destinations for hanami (flower viewing) as well as pilgrimages which can include collecting shuin (seal stamps) from each of the temples.
The abbots of each of the twenty-five temples gather annually to hold a flower ceremony at one of the temples.
