Women Takano Muro-ji Temple

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 of the water god religion and the dragon god religion.

Kongo-buji Temple (Wakayama Prefecture), which was once banned for women, has been widely known as "Nyoninkoya" because women have been visiting for a long time. In the precincts, there are many national treasures and important cultural properties, including the Kondo [National Treasure], which features a roof with a persimmon roof, and the five-storied pagoda [National Treasure], which is the smallest outdoor tower in Japan, which is also the symbol of Muro-ji Temple.

In September 2020, the Homonoden was opened, and houses the eleven-faced Kannon Bodhisattva statue [National Treasure] and the Jizo Bodhisattva statue [important cultural property], which were enshrined in the inner shrine of Kondo. In spring, about 3,000 rhododendrons, fresh greenery in early summer, autumn leaves, and quiet snow scenery in winter color the precincts, healing the hearts of visitors with beautiful appearances of each four seasons.
