WHAT TO SEE

Gakuenji (Temple) 鰐淵寺

This Buddhist temple was originally built in 594, and is an excellent place to enjoy fall foliage. The long stone stair leading to main worship areas provides great views of the mountain scenery.

The temple was originally built in 594 and it has a long history.

It is built in the mountain and is famous as a sacred ground for Buddhist austerity. There is a waterfall that can be seen from the temple.

Autumn season is absolutely gorgeous to see the maple and gingko trees, but temple and surrounding mountainous scenery is majestic in every season.
