This course takes you to Hieizan Enryaku-ji Temple and the town of Sakamoto that lies at the base of the mountain.
Enryaku-ji Temple was developed as a monastery in the Heian Period. It
sits halfway up Mt. Hiei facing towards the northeast, believed to be the
direction from which demons would attack the ancient capital of Kyoto.
The monastery is divided into three zones, centered each on the Too, Saito
and the Yokawa.
Sakamoto, from its location below the entrance to Mt. Hiei, is where are
found retreats and abbeys for the monks. Here and there in the town remain
today beautiful stonewalls known as anousyuzumi.@ |
