Sekiganji, Tamba

The Sekiganji Temple features an arched stone bridge named Taiko Bashi that crosses over the Shinji-ike pond containing hundreds of Nishiki Koi fish.

Established in 705 during the Nara period, Sekiganji Temple underwent major reconstructions of its main hall, temple gate, and bell tower between 1774 and 1783.

The temple belongs to the Tendai sect of Buddhism and maintains 17 foundation stones that indicate the original position of the ancient pagoda.

Visitors can reach Sekiganji by taking the Kameoka Furusato bus from Kameoka Station to the Kokubun stop, followed by a five-minute walk to the entrance.

The temple grounds display seasonal flowers including Japanese wisteria, carrot ferns, rosebays, water lilies, and lotus blooms throughout different times of the year.
