- Overview

- In this tour, we go to visit the Buddhist temple Enryaku-ji, part of the UNESCO world heritage, perched on Mount Hiei between the cities of Kyoto and Otsu. Let's enjoy our trip!
- We visit more precisely the area of the East Pagoda, which is made up of the main pavilions of this Buddhist complex, including the Konpon Chudo, the nerve and historical center of the complex.
- We are in the middle of nature and we can recharge our batteries. A good breath of fresh air.
- Your guide, a specialist and graduate in Japanese History, will guide you through this place and explain all the ins and outs of the history of these places.
- This Buddhist complex dates from the end of the 8th century and played an important role during the Japanese civil war (period of the Warring States 1467-1615). It is also a unique opportunity for the traveler to learn more about Japanese history and Buddhism in the heart of nature and in the mountains. Let's go! We are waiting for you.
