History
The light of Tendai Buddhism lit by Dengyō Daishi twelve centuries ago still shines brilliantly on Mount Hiei. Thousands of pagodas and halls grace the mountains, and hundreds of thousands of monks have trained here. This temple has literally shaped Japanese Buddhist history and continues its eternal mission.
