Бързи факти: A ritual called Omizutori is held every March at this hall, where massive torches up to 8 meters long blaze, creating a stunning spectacle. The hall sits on a hillside offering a panoramic view of Nara city through its open verandas.
Акценти: During Omizutori, sparks from huge torches sometimes fall onto spectators below, believed to bring good fortune and health. The cedar wood pillars inside the hall retain a faint, fragrant aroma from centuries of incense burned during ceremonies.
Вътрешни съвети
- Wear comfortable shoes as walking paths can be uneven and slightly steep up the hillside.
- Best photo spots are near the open verandas for views over Nara city and during the torchlight ceremony at night.
- Skip the crowded main temple building if pressed for time; focus on the hall and ceremony experience.
- Arrive early on ceremony days to secure a good viewing spot and avoid the densest crowds.
