The Experience

This is the only guided tour that takes you through all three sacred areas of Enryakuji Temple on Mount Hiei—Tōtō, Saitō, and Yokokawa. With a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll explore historic halls, ride shuttle buses between precincts, and experience the full spiritual journey of Japanese Tendai Buddhism. From the eternal flame of Konpon Chūdō to the forest serenity of Yokokawa, this tour offers a deeply immersive, one-of-a-kind pilgrimage experience just outside Kyoto.
