Temple visit
Visiting for the Shichi-Go-San holiday
The Miyashiro in the Garan welcomes visitors coming for Shichi-Go-San.
You will find the Miyashiro on the western side of the Danjo Garan, enshrouded by a quiet forest of cedar trees several hundreds of years old. For the 1,200 years since its founding, this site has enshrined Myojin-sama, the tutelary god who watches over Mount Koya.
For Shichi-Go-San, visitors can pay their respects at the front hall of the Miyashiro and pray for their children’s health and growth. Do not hesitate to pay a visit.
