There is a bus no.112 going to this temple from JR Nara, only spending half hour, quite convenient. Suggest to buy one day bus pass, only ¥500 each. Moreover, the wooden pass is cute. The temple is very lovely and a good place to see red maples. A little island in the pool in front of the temple, forms a beautiful scenery. Besides, inside the temple, there is a famous fairy with floral headband, only one to public in October and November, or other special days. So it’s the perfect time to go next week to see the fairy and red maples altogether.

If you visit Joruriji temple, must go to this temple as well, just 7 minutes bus ride. Spare more time to travel around the village to see the Buddhas crafted on caves, it’s a walking route. But I don’t have time, only visit the temple only, small but many beautiful scenery I can enjoy, you dan choose driving and taking bus but only one bus every hour.

We got off the train at Kamo and hiked through the small town, then up through countryside, over a river, past farms and along a winding mountain road until we finally arrived about one and a half hours later. There are probably quicker ways like taxi or maybe bus, but the experience of rural Japan was well worth it. (Maybe next time we'll try hiking down though instead of up). We did the trip in Autumn and the leaves were spectacular. Anyway, beautiful old temple with an ancient pagoda. What set it apart were the treasures and statues on view, some over a thousand years old!. It must have been a kind of open day as access was granted to everywhere. Not sure if the temple itself is worth the visit but the experience of hiking through the countryside on a sunny day, past traditional homes and small farms was definitely one not to be missed.
