Kuon-ji Temple on Mt. Minobu, founded during the Kamakura period as the head temple of the Nichiren sect, is a sacred place of faith and history. The magnificent main hall and five-story pagoda that stand still among the cedar groves, as well as the majestic atmosphere that awaits after climbing the 287 stone steps, soothe the souls of all who visit. The temple’s changing seasonal landscapes are captivating with weeping cherry blossoms in spring and colorful foliage in autumn. You can experience local spiritual culture through morning services and copying sutras.
