Famous spot for autumn leaves in Rakuto [Shinnyodo]

Hieizan Enryaku-ji Temple is a temple of the Tendai sect, and its official name is [Shinsho Gokuraku-ji Temple]. Founded in 984 (Eikan 2). It is also known as a famous place for autumn leaves. Shinsho Gokuraku-ji Temple was named with the meaning that "this place is a genuine sacred place of paradise", and "Shinnyodo" representing the main hall became established as a common name. The statue of Amida Nyorai, the principal object of worship, is a Buddha that saves women, and is also known by the common people as "Nodding Amida".
