History
Established in 1615 CE (Genna 1) when Tenkai received a donation of buildings from Hosho-ji by Emperor Go-Yozei. In 1655 CE (Meireki 1), Emperor Go-Sai bestowed the name Shiga-in and the temple's land holdings upon it. It maintained high prestige as the residence of a prince of the blood (hoshi) until the end of the Edo period.

What visitors say
A temple characterized by a garden designed by Kobori Enshu, imposing stone walls, and white-walled buildings. The interior displays valuable Buddhist statues and woodblock prints, and visitors can view the undying flame of Enryaku-ji up close. The autumn foliage season offers a relatively quiet visit, and the view of Mount Omi Fuji is also enjoyable.
