Peaceful Worship at an Ancient Temple Known as the Birthplace of Daruma Dolls

About this spot

Located in Hanahana Town, Takasaki, Shorinzan Daruma Temple is an ancient temple known as the birthplace of Japan's lucky daruma dolls. The temple grounds, accessed by climbing stone steps, are surrounded by trees and offer a peaceful atmosphere ideal for morning prayers in the crisp morning air. In addition to worshipping at the main hall, you can see panoramic views of Takasaki city and surrounding mountains from the temple grounds. While the temple is famous for its daruma market, it maintains a calm atmosphere on regular days where you can spend time peacefully. Make time for a family prayer at the start of your day before heading to the pool.
