Nyoirin

TIME : 2016/2/17 14:09:52

Take the left fork on the road just above Yoshimizu-jinja and the dilapidated Katte-jinja (勝手神社) shrine to reach Nyoirin-ji (about 30 minutes, through the Naka-sen-bon forest of 1000 cherry trees). This temple preserves both the relics of Emperor Go-Daigo's unlucky court and his tomb. In the Hōmotsu-den (treasure hall) is a trio of scroll paintings each with 1000 Buddhas. Legend says that if you look hard enough, you'll find one that looks like yourself.
