This ancient temple is said to have been founded 1,200 years ago by the great priest Kobo Daishi. The main highlight is the sacred image enshrined within a cave in a massive rock wall. Climbing the 130 stone steps leading up to it feels like a mystical path of ascetic training. Rhododendrons bloom in spring, while vibrant autumn leaves color the temple grounds in the fall. Surrounded by lush forests and mountain streams, this sanctuary is perfect for those wishing to leave the city bustle behind and experience the harmony between Japanese spiritual culture and nature.

Shirakawa Barrier Site (Shirakawa no Seki Site)

In ancient times, this was the site of a vital checkpoint that separated the capital in western Japan from the unknown lands of the Tohoku region. It is a place of literary significance that many ancient poets longed for and celebrated in numerous waka poems. Today, it remains a quiet shrine surrounded by deep forests, featuring old stone monuments and ancient trees. It is a spiritual "hidden gem" where you can stroll while sharpening your senses and feeling the weight of history.

Tsukimachi Falls

A unique "behind-the-waterfall" experience where you can actually walk into a cave behind the falling curtain of water. Watching the sunlight filter through the greenery and the water is a mystical experience. Next to the falls is a charming restaurant where you can enjoy fresh buckwheat noodles and natural shaved ice, making it a perfect spot for cooling off and healing in nature.
