Enryakuji Temple Amida Do
We continue this tour of the Enryaku-ji Buddhist Temple with its gate, its East Pagoda and the Buddha Amida Pavilion. The portal serves as a separation between the human world and the spirit world. This is an opportunity for us to "really" enter these places.
30 minutes
3
Kaidanin
The Kaidan-in pavilion stands out for the pristine and brand new red of its facade. We will be dazzled by this sparkling red that will make our memories and photos beautiful.

Enryaku-ji Daikodo
Enryaku-ji Auditorium is the study hall of Buddhist monks. We can visit it and feel the studious atmosphere of the place. Then we head towards the large bell of the complex next to this building. We can make it ring, hoping that our wishes will be fulfilled.

Hieizan Enryaku-ji Temple
Here we are in front of the main hall, the Konpon Chudo. It is still under renovation until 2026 and it is an opportunity for us to see how a traditional Japanese building, the object of an exhibition, is being renovated.
Nearby are the Hall for World Peace and the Monju-ro Gate which we will then visit.
