A quiet, lesser-known temple built in 1408 during the early Muromachi period. It has deep local roots and traditional wooden architecture. The stone stairway leading up to the temple is especially beautiful—lined with towering sugi (Japanese cedar) trees, it feels a lot like the famous approach to Togakushi Shrine in Nagano, but without the crowds. A peaceful spot to enjoy some calm while exploring Obuse.

This is also an extremely beautiful sakura spot.

Comfortable shoes recommended.
