What you can expect

Start your exploration at Chikurin-in, a Japanese garden renowned for its tranquil ambiance. The garden features a serene waterfall and meticulously crafted landscapes, offering a peaceful retreat and a quintessential Japanese experience.

Next, visit Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine, which holds a strong connection to Enryaku-ji Temple. This vibrant shrine, adorned in vivid red, is home to sacred monkeys and provides a unique charm and spiritual atmosphere.

Finally, immerse yourself in the historic grandeur of Enryaku-ji Temple, founded in the 8th century. As a pinnacle of Japanese mountain temple architecture, Enryaku-ji has been a cornerstone of Buddhist philosophy and has profoundly influenced Japanese spiritual practices. Despite past conflicts, it continues to uphold its rich heritage amidst the lush greenery of Mount Hiei.
