Rin’nōji Hōmotsuden treasure house

The treasure house is located opposite the main hall of the Rinnoji Temple. You need to pay an entrance fee. We decided to buy combined tickets, which include the main hall, the treasure house&garden, and the Taiyuin Mausoleum. It is a bit cheaper than buying them separately. Photography is not allowed inside the house. There are several antique artworks related to Buddhism and the Tokugawa era displayed inside. The portraits of all the shoguns in the Tokugawa family are exhibited there. It is nice to sit quietly and see those portraits, imagining their feelings and responsibilities as shoguns in their time.

Don't miss the garden located behind the house. The garden is small but beautiful, with a pleasant landscape, good design, and it's not too crowded. It must be a wonderful place during autumn when color of leaves change..

Has a national treasure sutra written 1000 years ago along with other cool stuff. There is a nice garden in the back.

The temple is located at the base of Mt. Nantai and the natural surroundings add to the serene atmosphere of the place.
The main hall of the temple houses a large wooden statue of the Yakushi Nyorai, which is the temple's main object of worship. The temple also features several other buildings such as the Sanbutsudo Hall and the Futarasan Shrine, which are both beautiful and worth visiting. The architecture of the buildings is amazing and the intricate carvings and paintings on the walls and ceilings are truly breathtaking.

Love Rin-no-ji, loved Nikko. Everything in this whole Nikko complex it feels like it was froze in time and is permanently in the Edo era. The feeling of peace and serenity you get in Nikko is probably unique. Despite the crowds and there were plenty you can connect and be one there.

The best experience ever, you would need to climb a bit, but it's worth.

Good thing the construction was finished when we went there was able to enjoy looking around the place.

Been here on 1st Jan 2024

this place is great. i came when it was under renovation, but i could still had a good time enjoying the place there.

The entrance costs about 500yens, sadly the temple was being renovated until 2020 for the next Olympics but visiting it is still worth it ! Beware of the stairs.

2024年2月の平日に行きました。宝物殿、三仏堂、大猷院の共通入場券を購入し入場しました。きれいな庭園と宝物を見ることができました。入り口付近に展示されてた風神雷神像の迫力と徳川15代将軍全員の肖像画が印象的でした。

小学6年の修学旅行ぶりに訪れました！寺院建築は心を癒されますね❄機会があれば何度でも脚を運びたくなる、貴重な旅となりました✨
