Visit One of the "Three Great Temples of Shinano"
About this spot
Revered in the saying "Far is Zenko-ji, next best is here, our Honzon, the Triple Buddha," this ancient temple is believed to be where Zenko-ji Temple's main deity was first enshrined. The peaceful grounds include the main hall and "Okaidanmeguri" (underground passage), offering a solemn time for families. Its close proximity to central Iida makes it convenient to stop by during city exploration. It's a perfect place to pray for your family's safety before the evening fireworks display.
