What other travelers are saying about Chikurinji Temple
There is a special exhibition of paintings to celebrate the 1300th anniversary of the Temple. The sound system is bearly audible, perhaps to enjoy only in solitude. The little garden nearly looks like a painting, too.
The Temple itself has nice setting. A pity the great Buddha images were cordoned off so one can only seen them from quite a distance.
The other Buddha images are outdoor, and one can see them closely.
#31. Good temple, Nice ambience. Interesting statues, jizos around the grounds. Very impressive , ancient collection of treasures.
Path to Godaisan Observatory at the back.
8 went to this Jinja by bike and it was awesome. Lovely little temple and shrine and stunning pagoda nestled in a quiet place in the mountains. Loved my outing there
Must see. Impressive temple, rare 5 story pagoda, and gorgeous moss and tree covered grounds to explore. Light an incense and make a wish or send some good intentions out into the world.
Make a day of it with the botanic garden and Godaisan park
