Chisenji Temple

Overview

Chisenji Temple, located in the heart of Tokamachi City, Niigata Prefecture, offers a serene escape for visitors. Easily accessible from the station, though winter access can be challenging due to snow, the temple features a striking blue copper-roofed Sanmon gate, a designated city cultural property crafted from Zelkova wood.
