Hello everyone in the world. Thank you for visiting us first. I am confident that I will tell those who are interested in Japanese temples and shrines.

In addition, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Taiwan, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Spain, India, Poland, Hong Kong, Germany, Nepal, Ukraine, Cameroon, the United States, and my homeland for their followers. increase.

This is a temple called Hieizan Enryakuji, which was built in 785 by a monk called Saicho, who was dispatched to China by the 50th Emperor Kanmu. It is said to be the mother of Japanese Buddhism because it created a new Buddhism called the Tendai sect of Japan, and many Buddhist leaders were produced from here. Since then, it has been cherished as a sacred place. The highlight is the countless temples scattered around Mt. Hiei, which is located in the northeast of Kyoto. Please come when you come to Japan. This is a place where you can feel the aspirations of our country. Thank you very much.

Hola a todos en el mundo. Gracias por visitarnos primero. Estoy seguro de que se lo diré a quienes estén interesados ​​en los templos y santuarios japoneses.

Además, me gustaría expresar mi más sincero agradecimiento a Taiwán, Arabia Saudita, Brasil, España, India, Polonia, Hong Kong, Alemania, Nepal, Ucrania, Camerún, Estados Unidos y mi patria por sus seguidores.

Este es un templo llamado Hieizan Enryakuji, que fue construido en 785 por un monje llamado Saicho, que fue enviado a China por el 50º Emperador Kanmu. Se dice que es la madre del budismo japonés porque creó un nuevo budismo llamado la secta Tendai de Japón, y muchos líderes budistas se produjeron desde aquí. Desde entonces, ha sido apreciado como un lugar sagrado.

Lo más destacado son los innumerables templos esparcidos por el monte Hiei, que se encuentra en el noreste de Kioto. Ven cuando vengas a Japón. Este es un lugar donde se pueden sentir las aspiraciones de nuestro país. Muchísimas gracias.

مرحبا بالجميع في العالم. شكرا لزيارتنا أولا. أنا واثق من أنني سأخبر أولئك المهتمين بالمعابد والأضرحة اليابانية.

بالإضافة إلى ذلك ، أود أن أعبر عن خالص امتناني لتايوان والمملكة العربية السعودية والبرازيل وإسبانيا والهند وبولندا وهونغ كونغ وألمانيا ونيبال وأوكرانيا والكاميرون والولايات المتحدة ، وبلدي على أتباعهم.

هذا هو المعبد المسمى Hieizan Enryakuji ، والذي تم بناؤه عام 785 بواسطة راهب يدعى Saicho ، أرسله الإمبراطور كانمو الخمسين إلى الصين. يقال إنها أم البوذية اليابانية لأنها أنشأت بوذية جديدة تسمى طائفة تينداي اليابانية ، وقد تم إنتاج العديد من القادة البوذيين من هنا ، ومنذ ذلك الحين ، تم الاعتزاز بها كمكان مقدس.

أبرز ما في الأمر هو المعابد التي لا تعد ولا تحصى المنتشرة حول جبل هيي ، الذي يقع في الشمال الشرقي من كيوتو. من فضلك تعال عندما تأتي إلى اليابان. هذا مكان يمكنك أن تشعر فيه بتطلعات بلدنا. شكرا جزيلا.

Bonjour à tous dans le monde. Merci de nous avoir rendu visite en premier. Je suis convaincu que je le dirai à ceux qui s'intéressent aux temples et sanctuaires japonais. En outre, je tiens à exprimer ma sincère gratitude à Taïwan, à l'Arabie saoudite, au Brésil, à l'Espagne, à l'Inde, à la Pologne, à Hong Kong, à l'Allemagne, au Népal, à l'Ukraine, au Cameroun, aux États-Unis et à ma patrie pour leurs adeptes. Il s'agit d'un temple appelé Hieizan Enryakuji, qui a été construit en 785 par un moine appelé Saicho, qui a été envoyé en Chine par le 50e empereur Kanmu. On dit qu'elle est la mère du bouddhisme japonais car elle a créé un nouveau bouddhisme appelé la secte Tendai du Japon, et de nombreux chefs bouddhistes ont été produits à partir d'ici. Depuis lors, il a été chéri comme un lieu sacré. Le point culminant est les innombrables temples dispersés autour du mont Hiei, situé au nord-est de Kyoto. S'il vous plaît, venez quand vous venez au Japon. C'est un endroit où vous pouvez ressentir les aspirations de notre pays....

Although the temple is a world cultural heritage site, as of October 2018, it is under renovation for its main temple, Konpon Chu-do; thus, visitors may not see much for historical part of the temple.

Like Miidera Temple, Enryakuji temple has good view of Biwako lake.

Because both shuttle bus and Fuku cable car service to the temple site end at about 0530pm, depending on season. It is better for tourists to plan morning or lunch visit time. Round-trip cable car service is operated every 30 minutes and crowded in weekend or holiday, and it costs 1,620 yen per adult.

Foreign visitors can take Keihan train service to Otsu and change Keihan Enryakuji line, walk about 10 minutes and then take cable car service to the temple.

Temple itself does offer English brochure, but no foreign language service for cable car or...

I went here after exploring Hiei Garden Museum. It rained so hard while I was riding the bus going to this temple, so I decided to buy souvenirs first. After the weather calmed down, I started touring around the temple. There is an admission fee of ¥1,000 to enter Enryaku-ji.

There is a lot to see here, plus they also have shops, restaurants, a museum, and they also have a hotel inside the temple grounds.

By the way, there is also an ongoing stamp rally here and if you collect 8 or 12 stamps, you can redeem it for cool prizes. Check their website for information and future events around the area.

You can reach Enryaku-ji either by car, bus, or cable car (Sakamoto Cable). The temple is also majical during rainy days, however if you don't want a hassle trip, then I suggest checking if the...
