#Get a discount without relying on luck #Zenkoji Temple is a temple that is a symbol of Nagano. It is important in the history of Buddhism in Japan. It is a temple that many people say "You must go once in your life" and I got it.

The atmosphere inside the temple has a main hall, Sanmon Gate is considered the main gate of the temple, and there are 6 Jizo statues near Sanmo Gate.

The day I went, it was snowing lightly, but I didn't give up on going to worship. The inside is very beautiful and magnificent. When I finished worshiping and walked out, I saw that this place was surrounded by mountains.
