2300 Sannai, Nikko, Tochigi 321-1431, Japan
Rinnō-ji is a Tendai Buddhist temple, located about 25 minutes from central Nikkō. Its main building is the Sanbutsudo, or ‘the Hall of the Three Buddhas’, which features gilt statues of Amida, Senju-Kannon and Bato-Kannon. These three buddha are regarded as the Tendai manifestations of nearby Futasaran Jinja’s three Shinto kami. The temple’s stunning gardens and tranquil ponds are particularly beautiful in autumn, when evergreens stand side-by-side with red-leaved maple trees.
