The twenty-five Kansai flower temples (Template:Lang-ja) or twenty-five sacred Kansai flower temples (Template:Lang-ja) are a multi-sect association of twenty-five Japanese Buddhist temples in the Kansai region that are known for their flower and foliage displays.[1] The organization was founded in 1993 and includes temples in the Hyōgo, Kyoto, Nara, Osaka, Shiga, and Wakayama Prefectures.[2]

The abbots of each temple provide large groups of 10 or more a Buddhist flower sermon,[3] and the flower temples are common destinations for hanami (flower viewing)[4][5] as well as pilgrimages[6] which can include collecting shuin (seal stamps) from each of the temples.[7]

The abbots of each of the twenty-five temples gather annually to hold a flower ceremony at one of the temples.[8]
