Kimiidera Temple

A temple opened by the Tang monk, Wéi Guāng Shàng Rén, about 1,250 years ago. If you pass through the tower gate and climb the 231 steps, you can see Wakanoura Bay from the precincts. Kimiidera Temple has also appeared in many literary works, such as Natsume Soseki's novel "The Wayfarer" and Matsuo Basho's haiku.
