Overview

Challenging trail leads to this high mountain temple, part of the 88 Temple pilgrimage route.

Perched high on a mountain, Temple 12 requires pilgrims to navigate one of the route's most challenging trails. The reward for the steep ascent is profound silence, sweeping views, and the deeply sacred atmosphere of this remote mountain sanctuary.

Local tips

Remove shoes before entering any hall. Look for a shoe rack at the entrance. Carry a plastic bag for your shoes if none is provided.
