About

Buddhist temple founded in 806, nestled in the forest with multiple halls and statues.

Founded in 806, this Buddhist complex sits terraced in greenery at the mountain's foot. You'll find several pavilions, hundreds of stone statues, and a peaceful atmosphere away from the waterfront crowds. Allow 1–2 hours to visit.
