Enjoy a more relaxed pace of sightseeing — and perhaps even tap into your spirituality — at Raiko-ji Temple. If it's possible to go inside, why not hang around for a moment or two of quiet meditation?
You'll have sightseeing choices galore when staying in Shimosuwa. Raiko-ji Temple is an ideal place to kick off here, but there are plenty of other worthwhile attractions to appreciate. Lake Suwa, Kirigamine Highland, and Suwa Taisha are close to the place of worship and will round out your day nicely.
