Rinnoji Temple

Like the neighboring Toshogu Shrine , elaborate, gilded carvings distinguish Rinnoji Temple, which enshrines the three Buddhas of the mountains behind it. Founded by the monk Shodo Shonin, it is Nikko's most important Buddhist temple.

Founded in 766 by the Buddhist monk Shodo Shonin, it is still used for ascetic training among Tendai monks.

Major renovation of the building ended in 2020 and the whole site is now opened to the public.

The most impressive sight at Rinnoji Temple is the three gilded Buddha statues, each 7.5 meters tall. The three statues represent the deities of the three mountains of Nikko, Mt. Nantai, Mt. Nyoho and Mt. Taro.

Both Rinnoji Temple and Futarasan-jinja Shrine were founded by the Buddhist priest Shodo Shonin as places of worship in the mountains. This temple is a notable example of how the two religions co-exist in Japan.

Surrounded by towering cedar trees and lush forests, the whole area is especially impressive with the fall colors.
