 Tips about Kōsenji Temple

Nestled atop a hill in Kusatsu, Kōsenji Temple offers a serene escape with panoramic views of the town and historic connections to Kusatsu Onsen's origins. The main hall, housing Yakushi Nyorai, exudes ancient charm, while the Shakado Hall stands as a testament to centuries of tradition. Visitors recommend scaling the shorter hidden staircase for easier access and capturing the beauty of the 5-story pagoda. To avoid icy conditions, consider visiting in the warmer months or taking extra caution in February. Immerse yourself in the temple's rich history and captivating landscape for a truly authentic Kusatsu experience.
