Mountain Temple | Climb the thousand stone steps to cleanse your worries and soul.

Also known as "Tateishi-ji," it is a famous sacred site in Yamagata. It boasts 1015 stone steps, and legend has it that reaching the summit will dispel worries and bring inner peace. Along the way, there are numerous historical sites and inscriptions by poets, imbuing each step with cultural significance. From the observation deck, one can overlook the entire Yamagata mountain range, experiencing a dual baptism of the soul and the eyes.

Ginzan Onsen| Step into a nostalgic hot spring town reminiscent of an anime setting

Ginzan Onsen, renowned as a filming location for classic anime, is a rare example of a well-preserved Showa-era hot spring town in Japan. Wooden inns, confectionery shops, and cafes line the stone-paved streets, exuding a retro charm. Stroll along the Ginzan River and relax your feet in the free foot bath area, experiencing the healing power of the natural hot spring water. Bringing your own towel is recommended for a more convenient foot bath experience.

Chuishui Ruins | A Mysterious Retreat for Spiritual Practice Hidden in the Mountains

(If there is still time after visiting the mountain temple, we will visit the Chuishui Ruins.)

Located deeper in the back mountains of the temple, is an ancient and sacred place full of spiritual energy. It is said to be the place where Master Ennin, the founder of the temple, once practiced. Legend has it that Master Ennin was deeply attracted by the solemn scenery of this place and decided to establish a sacred site for the Tendai sect here. He then secluded himself in the "Ennin's Retreat" cave deep in the rock wall to conceive the blueprint for the founding of the temple.

Within the ruins, the torii gate of Komine Shrine and the Inari Shrine stand side by side, while Fudo Myoo is enshrined in a nearby rock crevice. The massive honeycomb-shaped rock face, eroded by water over many years, combined with the vermilion torii gate and the deep cave, creates a breathtakingly beautiful landscape, making it one of Yamagata Prefecture's premier scenic spots, where visitors can feel the sacred atmosphere where nature and faith intertwine.
