En bref
The shrine's name contains 'ji' (寺), meaning Buddhist temple, yet it functions as a Shinto shrine today because of forced separation between Buddhism and Shinto during the Meiji Period.
In 1574, the entire shrine complex burned to the ground during an uprising, reducing it from a religious city of 6,000+ residents and 8,000 warrior monks to less than one-tenth its former size.

Équipements
If you're coming by public transport without a car, check the community bus schedule in advance since the Heisenji Line runs only every 3 to 4 hours.
Plan for at least 90 minutes to walk the full grounds, including the 600-meter moss-lined approach to the prayer hall and the additional 400 meters into the forest to reach the Sannomiya inner shrine.
Wear waterproof or sturdy shoes with good grip because the stone pathways and moss-covered ground can be slippery, especially after rain or in damp conditions. The moss is part of the shrine's beauty, but it makes footing unpredictable.

The shrine's name contains 'ji' (寺), meaning Buddhist temple, yet it functions as a Shinto shrine today because of forced separation between Buddhism and Shinto during the Meiji Period.
In 1574, the entire shrine complex burned to the ground during an uprising, reducing it from a religious city of 6,000+ residents and 8,000 warrior monks to less than one-tenth its former size.
Over 200 species of moss blanket the shrine grounds, earning it the nickname 'Moss Temple.' The moss-covered approach path is so prized it was designated a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 1930.
The shrine was founded in 717 after a monk named Taichō experienced a divine vision where the goddess Izanami emerged from a sacred pond and told him to climb Mount Hakusan.
