Yakuo-in Main Hall (Takao-san Yakuo-in Yuki-ji)

Highlight • Religious Site

The Buddhist temple on Mount Takao is formally known as Takao-san Yakuo-in Yuki-ji, and most commonly as Yakuo-in. It was established in 744 on the orders of Emperor Shomu as a base for Buddhism in eastern Japan and its founder was Gyoki, a charismatic priest closely associated with the erection of the Great Buddha at Todai-ji Temple in Nara.

Tengu, long-nosed demon-like beings, are believed to dwell on sacred mountains acting as the messengers of the deities and buddhas to chastise evildoers and protect the good.

October 1, 2022,Takao-san und Yakuoin Tempel

Easily accessible from Tokyo, Takao-san is suitably crowded on weekends. The path leads past numerous smaller and larger highlights. Including the Yakuoin Temple and beautiful views. The path is fully developed, but there are steps to climb from the Yakuoin to the summit, which makes a tour with a stroller to the top very difficult. For tours with children, however, …
