[Experience]
It is a special “Main Hall Preservation and Repair Site Guide” and “Terauchi Visit” by the chief priest.
Observe the roof replacement work for the main hall cypress bark roof every 50 years from a private scaffolding,
Take a close look at the beautiful traditional techniques of modern palace carpenters.
The roof replacement area is 744 square meters, and the cypress bark used is about 3,400 bundles, collected from all over the country.
Also, at the main hall, we will guide you to a special visit, including the inner and outer hall, and the back hall.
Even though it caught fire in the middle of history, the many Buddha statues that ascetic monks risked their lives to protect will capture the hearts of those who see it.


[Iwane Zensuiji]
At “Iwane Mountain National Treasure Zensuiji Temple”, one of the three Konan mountains in Konan City, Shiga Prefecture
You can visit the main hall and Buddha statues, which are national treasures and important cultural properties.
It was founded in the same year during the Nara period, and was revived as Zensuiji by the first Denkyo Daishi Saicho Shonin in the early Heian period.
The main hall is a beautiful building with an Irimoya-style cypress bark roof and curved eaves with graceful curves.
Also, the two statues of Nioh on the outpost of the main hall are impressive when they spread their legs powerfully,
Bonten, Taishakuten, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the twelve divine generals are enshrined in the chancel,
Temples with all of these cast members are rare even in the whole country.
Valuable Buddha statues are also lined up in the back hall, and Fudo Myoo in particular is the oldest in the prefecture.
Over 1200 years since it was founded,
Please feel the long history at Sangaku-ji Temple, which has been built up day by day.
