• Visit the temple in combination with neighboring Kumano Nachi Taisha shrine, as they share adjacent grounds due to their historical unity during the syncretic Buddhist-Shinto period before the Meiji era separation.
• Take time to appreciate the main hall's Momoyama period architecture, originally rebuilt in 1590 by Toyotomi Hidenaga under Hideyoshi's orders and later repaired by Hideyori in 1614.
• Beyond the main hall and pagoda, explore the lesser-visited structures including the Niomon gate, Gyoja-do hall, Daikokuten-do hall, and Amida-do hall, which offer additional architectural and spiritual interest often overlooked by casual visitors.
• As the first temple of the Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage route, Seiganto-ji is an important pilgrimage site where you can obtain your first temple stamp and begin the traditional circuit if you're interested in this spiritual journey.
• Remember that Seiganto-ji is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site 'Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range' registered in 2004, so you're visiting a location of international cultural significance.
