Chomei-ji, Buddhist temple in Takanodai, Japan
Located on Mount Chomeiji at 250 meters elevation, the temple complex includes a main hall, three-storied pagoda, and bell tower overlooking Lake Biwa.
The temple buildings visible today were reconstructed between the Muromachi and early Edo periods after the original structures burned down in 1516.
The temple holds position 31 on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage, a 1300-year-old Buddhist path stretching 2400 kilometers across the Kansai region.
Visitors must climb 808 stone steps through bamboo groves to reach the temple, which remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
Ancient megaliths emerge from the ground behind the main hall, indicating this location served as a prehistoric worship site before the temple construction.
