Overview
Saiin-ji Temple, established in the mid-Edo period, serves as a branch temple of Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple. Like Naritasan Shinsho-ji, it belongs to the Shingon sect's Chizan school, with Fudo Myoo as its principal deity. The serene atmosphere of the temple grounds, encompassing the main hall, bell tower, and priest's quarters (kuri), offers a tranquil space for contemplation. While smaller than Naritasan Shinsho-ji, Saiin-ji Temple provides a quieter, more peaceful environment, perfect for a contemplative visit. The fewer visitors allow for a more relaxed experience. If you're visiting Naritasan Shinsho-ji, be sure to stop by Saiin-ji Temple. Find solace in its quiet ambiance and take time for self-reflection.
