Chōmei-ji, Buddhist temple in Mukōjima, Japan
The stone steps of Chōmei-ji Temple lead through a bamboo forest, reaching the main hall with its three-storied pagoda and bell tower at 250 meters elevation.
The temple first appeared in documents from 1074 and received support from the Sasaki-Rokkaku clan during the Kamakura period as military governors of Ōmi.
This temple serves as the 31st stop on the Saikoku Kannon Pilgrimage, featuring an eleven-faced Kannon statue from the 12th century in its main hall.
Visitors can access Chōmei-ji Temple daily between 8 AM and 5 PM, with the journey requiring a twenty-minute climb up 808 stone steps.
Mount Chōmeiji was once an island before Lake Dainaka was filled in, with a wharf marking the entrance to the Chōmeiji River.
