Nichirizan Ryonin Daiyuin (Nichirizan Ryonin Daiyuin Temple)

〒321-1431 栃木県日光市山内2300−2307

4.6(1080)

A Tendai sect monastery located within the Nichirizan area, it is known as one of the 'Two Shrines and One Temple' alongside Tosho-gu and Futarasan Shrine. Registered as a World Heritage Site, it houses numerous National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties.

History

This Tendai monastery is traditionally said to have been founded by the monk Shodo Daishi during the Nara period. In the early modern period, it prospered under the protection of the Tokugawa clan. It features many historic structures, including the Daiyuin Reijo (the mausoleum of Tokugawa Iemitsu) and the Sanbutsu-do (Hall of the Three Buddhas), which is the largest wooden building in eastern Japan.

What visitors say

While more understated than Tosho-gu, it is characterized by a heavy and solemn structure based on gold and black tones. The worship route, which passes through the Ni-o-mon (Lion Dog Gate), Ni-ten-mon (Two Heavenly Kings Gate), and Yasha-mon (Yasha Gate), evokes the sensation of ascending to the celestial realm. With relatively few tourists, it is a noteworthy place where one can leisurely appreciate the exquisite decorations and dragon motifs in a quiet atmosphere.
