Exploring the World Heritage Site 'Enryakuji Temple' in Shiga Prefecture!

Enryakuji Temple, located in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, is the head temple of the Tendai sect. 🙏 The temple grounds are situated at an altitude of 848 meters and can be accessed from both the Kyoto and Shiga sides. 🚃 There are various ways to get there, including buses, cable cars, and ropeways. It is recommended to choose the best route from the official Enryakuji website. You can also access it by private car. Enryakuji is divided into three areas: Todo (East Pagoda), Saito (West Pagoda), and Yokokawa. You can visit each area in sequence using a shuttle bus. 🚌 By the way, if you use a private car, you can visit each area in a shorter time as you won't have to wait for the bus. 🚗 If you are short on time, you can just visit the main Todo area! It's an incredibly calming place, making it the perfect temple for seeking relaxation. ✨ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Facility Name: Enryakuji Temple Address: 4220 Sakamoto Honmachi, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture, 520-0116 Access: About 65-70 minutes from Kyoto Station Hours: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
