[2025 Omihachiman Attraction] Travel Guide for Chomeiji Temple (Updated Jun)

#postandearn It is said that Chomei-ji Temple in Shiga Prefecture was founded around the 6th and 7th centuries by Prince Shotoku, who took the leadership of the country. It has been popular with people since ancient times as it has the benefits of health, longevity and disease-free life. It is located on a hill at an altitude of about 250 metres with a magnificent view of Lake Biwa, and follows a steep route with 808 stone steps. The road to the top while stepping on the stone steps step by step is an experience as if you have become a monk. The refreshment of the body and mind that can be obtained along with a sense of accomplishment is exceptional. If you are not confident in your physical strength, you can drive to the vicinity of the precincts, so you can rest assured.

Chomyoji Temple in Omihachiman City, Shiga Prefecture is a famous temple on the mountainside of Mt. Chomyojiyama, located on the eastern shore of Lake Biwa, and is one of the Thirty-Three Temples of the Western Provinces. Whether you walk or drive, it's a mountain path that makes you worry, "Is this really the right path...?", but once you get past that, the temple grounds are a mystical space that makes you feel solemn. 😌 My other recommendation is the view of Lake Biwa! There is also an observation deck where you can see beautiful views for quite a long distance! How about a weekend where you can pray for good health and be soothed by the beautiful scenery? 🤩 Opening hours: 8:00-17:00 Admission fee: Free #Temple #ShigaTrip #besttrip2023
