Seiganto-ji (青岸渡寺), Temple of Crossing the Blue Shore, is a Tendai Buddhist temple in Wakayama Prefecture, Japan. It was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004 as part of Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range.

당신이 가야 하는 이유

The temple is one of the few located next to a Shinto shrine after the separations in the Meiji period.

Many buildings were burned by Oda Nobunaga in the 16th century.

The temple's current name was given during the Meiji period's anti-Buddhist movement, when it was forcibly separated from Nachi Grand Shrine after centuries of being one unified religious site.

As the first temple of the Saigoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage, this is where pilgrims traditionally begin their spiritual journey through western Japan's most sacred Buddhist sites.

가기 전에 알아두세요

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.
