Climb 1,015 stone steps to worship

#aprilblooms The mountain temple of the Tendai sect is correctly named "Hojusan Ritsuishi-ji Temple". It is a historic mountain that was founded by Jigaku Daishi in 860. It is said that every time you climb a stone step with 1015 steps, your troubles will disappear. In addition, it has been a temple that has been worshipped since ancient times as a temple that cuts off bad relationships and connects good relationships. There are several buildings on the mountain, but the building near the trailhead is called "Nemoto Chudo", which is also a nationally designated important cultural property. It is also said to be the oldest building in Japan in terms of beeck buildings. In the hall, you can worship the wooden sitting statue of Yakushi Nyorai and the immortal magic lantern that has been lit without interruption for more than 1,000 years.
