Shuzenji Temple, the birthplace of Shuzenji Onsen, is located in the heart of the hot spring resort. Founded in 807 AD by Kobo Daishi, it flourished under the patronage of the Hojo clan during the Kamakura period. The temple grounds feature a treasure hall with artifacts related to the Minamoto Yoriie and the famous "Shuzenji Monogatari" mask. Don't miss the hot spring water at the hand-washing station! Located a 3-minute walk from Shuzenji Onsen Station or an 8-minute bus ride from Shuzenji Station, it's a must-see for visitors to the area. Visit during the autumn foliage season for stunning views.
