Challenge the 808-step stone steps

#postandearn It is said that Chomei-ji Temple in Shiga Prefecture was founded around the 6th and 7th centuries by Prince Shotoku, who took the leadership of the country. It has been popular with people since ancient times as it has the benefits of health, longevity and disease-free life. It is located on a hill at an altitude of about 250 metres with a magnificent view of Lake Biwa, and follows a steep route with 808 stone steps. The road to the top while stepping on the stone steps step by step is an experience as if you have become a monk. The refreshment of the body and mind that can be obtained along with a sense of accomplishment is exceptional. If you are not confident in your physical strength, you can drive to the vicinity of the precincts, so you can rest assured.
