Rinkozan Onsenji

諏訪市湯の脇1丁目21−1

4.1(225)

A temple of the Myoshinji school of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism, with the mountain name Rinkozan. It is the 7th station of the Chubu 49 Yakushi Pilgrimage and is known as the family temple of the Suwa clan of the Takashima domain.

History

Established in 1640 CE (Kangyo 17) by Suwa Tada Tsune, the second lord of the Takashima domain, to protect the hot spring source at Kamisuwa Onsen. Since then, it has served as the family temple of the Suwa clan of the Takashima domain, and the mausoleums of successive domain lords are located here. During a fire in 1870 CE (Meiji 3), the medicine gate (yakumon), the mountain gate (sanmon), and the Noh stage were relocated from Takashima Castle to this temple.

What visitors say

Located on a high plateau, this temple offers a magnificent view of the Northern Alps across Suwa Lake. During the autumn foliage season, visitors can leisurely enjoy the scenery from the veranda of the garden, and a limited-time Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) is also available. Please note that the approach to the parking lot includes narrow and steep sections, so caution is advised for large vehicles.
