This historic Shingon Buddhist temple, widely revered as a sacred place for prayers related to eye health, is also renowned for its stunning autumn foliage. After passing through the main gate, visitors are greeted by vibrant maple leaves and beautifully landscaped gardens—a must-see combination. Within the temple grounds, you can enjoy the autumn scenery as well as explore cultural treasures like the three-story pagoda and the sacred 'Goryo Cedar.' The 'Ruri Waterfall,' where Emperor Koken is said to have washed his eyes and recovered from an eye ailment, offers a mystical and soothing atmosphere.
