Learn how these ingenious wooden halls preserved sacred Buddhist texts for over 700 years, all within the serene setting of a mountain monastery.

Note

Please note: This tour involves long walking distances, steps, and uneven natural surfaces at the temple, and is therefore not suitable for guests with limited mobility or wheelchair users. The itinerary order may vary due to operational reasons. Visitors must dress modestly for temple entry. Shoes must be removed before entering the main hall, and socks are required, as barefoot entry is not permitted. Comfortable walking shoes, sunglasses, and a light jacket are recommended. At the tumuli site, guests must remain on designated paths and should not walk on the burial mounds. Local currency or a credit card, sunscreen, and the ship card are recommended for personal purchases.
