Torin-ji Temple, nestled in the southern foothills of the Yoro Mountains in Inabe, Mie Prefecture, offers a serene escape into nature. A short taxi ride from Ageki Station on the Sangi Railway Hokusei Line leads to this secluded temple. Ascend the stone steps flanked by towering trees to discover the main hall and a historic pagoda dating back to the Nanboku-cho period, designated as a Mie Prefecture cultural property. Behind the temple, admire the 22-meter Shirataki Waterfall, a hidden gem often called the "back waterfall of Yoro." The tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty make it a peaceful retreat, ideal for quiet contemplation and enjoying the sounds of nature.
