Guided Tour of Zenkoji Temple
Bonsho-no-Kai : 梵鐘の会

Tour the Venerable Zenkoji Temple with the Knowledgeable Bonsho no Kai Volunteers.

Northern Nagano


Description

Tour the venerable Zenkoji Temple with the knowledgeable guidance of the Bonsho no Kai, a group of volunteer tour guides offering explanation in English, German, French and Chinese.


Recommendation

Zenkoji Temple is the heart and soul of Nagano City. The temple houses the very first Buddhist image to come to Japan over 1400 years ago. The temple is full of mysticism and symbolism, much of which would be missed to the casual observer. Let the volunteer guide group Bonsho no Kai take you around the temple grounds and explain the full meaning of Zenkoji.
