An official Japanese Heritage over 1,000 years old that offers beautiful scenery in the spring and autumn
Kegon-ji Temple was built in 798 and was given its official name, Tanigumi-san Kegon-ji, by Emperor Daigo after its construction. The name was created by combining the names of Mt. Tanigumi and Kegon-ji Temple.
The temple is known for being a destination along the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage route, which holds around 1,300 years of history. In May of 2019, the 33 stops of the pilgrimage (including Kegon-ji) were officially designated as a Japanese Heritage.
With beautiful cherry blossoms in the spring and colorful autumn leaves in the fall, Kegon-ji is part of the “Top 33 Spots of Hida and Mino” list for both cherry-blossom and autumn-leaf viewing.
