💡 Tips for Visitors

Visit early in the morning to avoid crowds and experience the temple's tranquil atmosphere at its best. Cash payment is typically required for the entrance fee, so bring Japanese yen. The temple is most spectacular during autumn (mid-November) when the maple trees turn brilliant shades of red and orange.
