What other travelers are saying about Rinno-ji Temple
Beautiful temple with a giant sakura tree in front of the main hall. While visiting its ground was free, tickets were needed to entet the main hall, the garden and the treasure house.
I bought this temple lucky pendant. Instead of the zodiac signs I wanted, I got an ox and a pig. One would not have expected such meanness from pious people. So 6000 yen for the trash can and my presents are for the ass.
During Setsubun, you can buy lucky beans (Fukusho) at the Honbo office. 👹
1 sho / 2000 yen (limited to 130 pieces), 5 sho / 1500 yen (50 pieces) limited, Fukumame only / 1 bag 500 yen (300 kg)
Comes with a small hammer and a talisman for Risshun and Setsubun to be pasted on the entrance.

Nikkozan Rinnoji is a temple of the Tendai sect.
Nikkosan Rinnoji Temple was originally called ``Manganji Temple'', the name given to it by Emperor Saga during the Heian period, but in 1655, it was renamed ``Rinnoji Temple'' by the Imperial Order of the Retired Emperor Gomizunoo. The number has been awarded.
The head monk of Mt. Nikko was called ``Komyo-in'' by the great priest Tenkai, who revived Mt. Nikko as the head temple of the whole Mt. Nikko.It was a large shoin with a total floor area of 26,000 tsubo, but it was a Buddhist temple in the early Meiji period. It was burnt down in 1871 during the turmoil of the Separation Order.
The only structure of the main temple that survived the fire is the main gate, which stands facing Nikko Omotesando and is commonly known as the Kuromon because it is painted with black lacquer, and is in the form of a medicine gate.
The front gate is a gate that signifies the formality of the Monzeki temple, which honors the imperial family as the heads of Mt. Nikko (Rinnoji Palace).It was built by the Great Priest of Heaven, and is designated as an important cultural property of the country, with the chrysanthemum emblem attached to it.
The front gate is decorated with carvings such as lions and peonies.
