Eiheiji Temple. An extremely impressive structure totally constructed from wood and with intricate frescoes decorating the inner walls. The atmosphere of tranquility is further enhanced by a stream that flows through the inner court yards. The temple is a true testament to the ability of the ancient Japanese to fuse architecture and nature in a seamless and timeless endeavor.
It is important to note that unless you are admitted to the meditation programs, the only parts of the temple complex open to tourists are the Treasure Hall (a small museum containing scrolls and statues), and the entrance hall containing the information centre. There is also a graveyard outside the walls. The main buildings of the temple complex and Eiheiji temple itself are not open to the public.
