Kongorin-ji Temple is a peaceful place to relax, off the beaten path. If you want to venture outside the popular tourist spots of Kyoto and get away from the crowds, Kongorin-ji Temple in Shiga Prefecture is a wonderful choice. The Buddhist Temple was built in 741.
Kongorin-ji Temple is one of the three Koto Sanzan temples of the Tendai sect. The main temple, which was built in 1288, represents the Kamakura period (1192 to 1333) and is a designated national treasure. The gardens were laid out from the Azuchi Momoyama period (1573 to 1603) to the middle of the Edo period (1603 to 1868) and are well worth a visit for their beauty. There are also hundreds of statues of Jizo, the Buddhist patron god of children, the unborn, travelers and firefighters to marvel at.
