About Risshakuji Temple

Visitors ascend over a thousand stone steps, flanked by towering cedar trees and ancient stone lanterns, to reach the temple complex. Along the climb, they encounter numerous smaller shrines and breathtaking views of the surrounding valley. The iconic view from the Okunoin Hall, perched on a cliff, offers a stunning panorama of the lush landscape below. Risshaku-ji is also famous for its connection to the poet Matsuo Basho, who composed a haiku inspired by its tranquil ambiance. This sacred site is a testament to Japan's rich cultural and spiritual heritage.
