Activity

Sohonzan Hasedera Temple

Hasedera Temple, established at the end of the 7th century, is home to its principal deity, the Buddha of Compassion. It features Japan's largest wooden statue of the eleven-headed Kannon, which is designated as an Important Cultural Property. This statue touches the hearts of worshippers who gaze up at it with compassion.

The stage of the main hall, with its view of seasonal flowers, is an exceptional location.

It is widely known as the "Temple of Flowers," where one can capture beautiful scenery throughout the seasons, including cherry blossoms and peonies in spring, hydrangeas in summer, and autumn foliage in fall.

The Noboriro (enclosed stairway), adorned with a series of round lanterns that add elegance, is an Important Cultural Property.

The opportunity to capture photos along the 399-step approach from the Niomon Gate to the main hall is a unique feature of Hasedera Temple.

All captured photographs (over 100 shots) will be provided

The photo data will be emailed within one month of the shooting date with a link to download the files. Please download the data once you receive the email.
