Reizanji Temple
奈良市中町３８７９
A head temple of the Shingon sect located in Nara City, Reizanji preserves ancient architecture, including a National Treasure main hall and an Important Cultural Property three-story pagoda. It is also known as a unique temple featuring a rose garden that collects roses from around the world, hot spring facilities, and a Golden Hall.
History
Legend has it that Reizanji was founded by the monk Gyoki by imperial decree of Emperor Shomu. Bodhidharma named the temple Reizanji. During the Heian period, Kukai experienced a vision of a dragon deity, and the temple became a place of study for both the Hosso and Shingon sects. In the Kamakura period, it flourished to the extent of having 21 monastic compounds, and it was also a temple with a red seal from the Edo Shogunate.

What visitors say
The onsen facility 'Yakushi-yu' is located on the premises, allowing visitors to enjoy indoor baths instead of outdoor bathing or saunas. The temple grounds are spacious and well-maintained, offering many highlights such as the three-story pagoda, the National Treasure main hall, the rose garden, and a large cedar tree that is 800 years old. The path to the Okuno-in (inner sanctuary) is well-maintained, making it relatively easy to visit, and the location is also beautiful during the autumn foliage season.
