Program to reintroduce the local charm and increase winter inbound tourist spending at the Zao Ski Resort, centered on the Hojusan Risshaku-ji Temple (Yamadera)
Until now, while it was possible to enter the grounds of Yamadera during winter, the Konpon Chudo was not open for viewing.
However, for the first time, a winter viewing and light-up event was approved to allow for a special experience in the winter that until now was not possible.
Walk the snow-covered grounds that look like they came straight from an ink painting and take in the beautiful winter view from the Godaido.
In the Konpon Chudo, you can view the “Eternal Light of Buddhism” that has been lit for 1,200 years, as well as a collection of Buddhist statues. You can also listen to a special Buddhist sermon related to Yamadera by the head monk, experience meditation, and feel the spirituality of the temple.
In addition to this, you can enjoy a lunch featuring local cuisine, sake tastings, and a lit-up Godaido. Unlike Yamadera in winter of the past, you can enjoy new experiences to your heart’s content. -
