Key Information

Description

Why don’t you experience the esoteric Buddhism? “Kukai”, the most famous excellent monk in Japan, traveled to China in the 9th century and brought that to Japan. He also founded the school for the general in Nara prefecture. It is very unique to experience their “Goma” practice. The monks pray people’s wish to come true by throwing the wooden stick on which their wishes are written into the fire at the temple from 8th century. After getting oil to purify your body from monk, you enter the area very special. We can go into the fifth story pagoda and watch many small Buddha statues there and walk a little bit hillside area, imagining the pilgrims of ancient era. One and half hours. Entrance of treasure houses are not included. The pond of Nishiki-goi or beautiful carps, the statue of Samurai, the house of which ceiling is decorated by a draw of dragon is also very impressive.
