 Tips about Saifuku-ji Temple

Saifuku-ji Temple is praised for its masterful wood carvings, notably those by Ishikawa Uncho, described as the "Michelangelo of his time." The temple features impressive works ranging from old to newer lattice structures and a striking interior. Visitors must see the Kaisando and its intricate craftsmanship, but note that photography is prohibited inside. To enhance your experience, explore the wood inlays, intricate carvings, and sculptures outside, and enjoy a relaxing break at the café where you can savor original green tea with a red bean snack.
