Shishan Temple is the 13th temple of the thirty-three Guanyin shrines in the Western Kingdom. In the vast temple, there stands wollastonite, a natural monument from which the temple name originated. The main hall and the many pagodas, as well as many items such as scriptures, sacred books, Buddha statues, and picture scrolls, are designated as national treasures and important cultural properties of Japan. The representative classic Japanese literature "The Tale of Genji" is said to have been conceived by Murasaki Shikibu who visited Ishiyama-ji Temple when he saw the reflection of the fifteenth full moon on Lake Biwa. As a landscape that shows the mysterious power of Lake Biwa and its water, it lives among people as a form of water and life culture.

Ishiyama Temple is a temple built around the mountain. It is located at the junction of Kyoto and Shiga. It takes about 45 minutes to drive from the center of Kyoto. Ishiyama Temple is very large in size, with many stone grades inside. The red leaf trees are high and low and are full of layers. The night maple is open at 5:30pm. The stunning red leaf promenade is definitely a punching hot spot. There are also large and small lakes in the temple to take reflections of photography enthusiasts. There is a laser temple on the lantern ladder, and every attraction is very powerful. Because the temple is dark at night, children and the elderly should pay special attention when walking!
The oldest wooden tower in Japan and the temple built on the stone mountain are famous, and the wooden tower is said to have been built in Fengna, Yuanlai Dynasty, if so, it will be counted from the Kamakura Shogun period, almost 1,100 years old.
Shishan Temple in Shiga County is worth paying attention to. It is recommended to get off the tram and walk about 800 meters to reach the attraction. A good place for cherry blossoms 🌸 season.
It's better to use a smartphone to learn the history of Ishiyamaji Temple than to go without knowing anything, so it's completely different from learning for an hour, so I recommend doing so.
The main entrance of Shishan Temple is Dongdaemun, the building is tall and eaves large, and the gate is a whole display of uniformity. The Dobato tower towering on the wafer stone was built in 1194 and is the oldest and most beautiful Dobato tower of Japan's pride.
