Explore the Muro-ji Temple, a spiritual haven nestled between Nara and Ise. Built over 1,300 years ago, this temple is renowned for its unique history and serene setting. Unlike many sacred sites, Muro-ji welcomed women, earning the name “Nyonin Kōya” (Kōyasan for women).

Admire the temple’s architectural beauty, including a hall built dramatically into the cliffside in the kakezukuri style. Climb stone steps through towering cedar trees to reach one of Japan’s oldest five-story pagodas. Though just 16 meters tall, its elegance and harmony with nature are breathtaking.

Experience the temple’s tranquil atmosphere as you walk along mossy paths and misted stairs. Muro-ji is not just a site to visit—it’s a place to pause, reflect, and find solace in nature.
