Rinnoji Temple used to be Holy Land of mountain worship together with Nikko Futaarasan Shrine
from the Nara Age (710 - 794) . After Nikko Toshogu Shrine was built in the Edo Age (1603 - 1868) ,
these shrines and the temple became the subjects of faith.
From the Shinkyo Bridge, you will approach to Rinnoji Temple through stone steps. At the entrance
of the stone steps along the main street, you will find the stone monument of the world heritage of
