Cần Quan Tâm
Kyu Chikurinin Garden
Once a retreat for monks of Enryaku-ji, the Former Chikurin-in offers a glimpse into the refined culture of temple life in Sakamoto. Its elegant tatami rooms open onto a traditional strolling garden designed to harmonize with the surrounding landscape. Here visitors can sense how faith, architecture, and nature blended seamlessly in the daily lives of Buddhist priests at the foot of Mount Hiei.
Hiyoshi Taisha
Hiyoshi Taisha is the grand guardian shrine of Mount Hiei and the spiritual heart of Sakamoto. Famous for its unique Sannō torii gate and the presence of sacred monkeys known as “masaru,” the shrine reflects the syncretic beliefs of Shinto and Buddhism. Walking from the West Hall to the East Hall, visitors experience a sacred atmosphere that has protected the town and Enryaku-ji Temple for centuries.
