1. A wide selection of unique arhat statues! 🗿

There are over 1,200 arhat statues lined up in the temple grounds, each with their own unique personality.

Atago Nenbutsu-ji Temple is attractive for its collaboration between nature and Buddhist statues in the four seasons. The autumn leaves are especially beautiful in the fall, and the contrast between the stone Buddhas and the autumn leaves creates a wonderful landscape. The season of fresh greenery and the snowy scenery in winter each have their own unique charms, so it's a place you can enjoy no matter how many times you visit 🌿🍂
