Naritasan hōrin-ji

The Naritasan Hōrin-ji temple complex contains multiple buildings that demonstrate traditional Japanese architectural elements, including worship halls and meditation spaces.

A carved statue of Fudo Myoo, attributed to the prominent Shingon Buddhist figure Kobo Daishi, stands as a central religious artifact within the temple.

The temple grounds remain open to visitors without admission fees, while the surrounding area provides multiple accommodation options and transportation connections.

The temple maintains regular religious ceremonies and events throughout the year, continuing centuries-old traditions of Japanese Buddhist practices and rituals.
