Manshu-in

The temple buildings demonstrate Sukiya-zukuri architecture through their refined wooden structures, sliding doors, and integration with the surrounding garden landscape.

Originally established on Mount Hiei in the 8th century by monk Saicho, the temple moved to its current location in 1656 under prince Ryosho's direction.

The Daishoin and Koshoin rooms contain detailed paintings by the Kano School, depicting tigers, waterfalls, snow landscapes, and Mount Fuji scenes.

Located 300 meters from the nearest bus stop, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with an entrance fee of 600 yen.

The temple garden features a 400-year-old Japanese white pine tree and maintains a collection of 1,200 artworks related to arts and literature.
