Ladies, Takano Muro-ji Temple

Ladies Takano Muro-ji Temple | Grand Mercure Nara Kashihara [Official]

Muro-ji Temple is located in a place where the clear stream flows deep in Mt. Muro, and has long been known as a sacred place for the water god religion and the dragon god religion.

Kongo-buji Temple (Wakayama Prefecture), which was once banned from women, has been widely known as "Nyoninkoya" because women have been visiting since ancient times. There are many national treasures and important cultural properties scattered, including the Kondo [National Treasure], which features a persimmon-roofed roof, and the five-storied pagoda [National Treasure], the smallest outdoor tower in Japan, which is the symbol of Muro-ji Temple.

In September 2020, the Homonoden was opened, and the 11-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statue [National Treasure] and the Jizo Bodhisattva statue [important cultural property], which were enshrined in the Kondo Uchijin, are stored. In spring, about 3,000 rhododendrons, fresh greenery in early summer, autumn leaves, and quiet snowy scenery in winter color the precincts and heal the hearts of visitors with the beautiful appearance of each of the four seasons.
