Nachi-san Seiganto-ji Temple

Information
Nachi-san Seiganto-ji Temple is the first major stop of the Saigoku Thirty-Three Goddess of Mercy pilgrimage. The current Hondo main hall of the temple was reconstructed by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and is now designated as an important cultural property. The giant bell(Ohwaniguchi), upon which Toyotomi Hideyoshi's petition was engraved, is the biggest in Japan, weighing 450 kilograms with a diameter of 1.4 meters. The temple is located near Nachi-no-Taki Waterfall and a beautiful scenery of the waterfall can also be enjoyed from the temple's three-storied pagoda.
The temple was registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with other locations, under the name "Sacred Sites and Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range" in 2004.
