Jigen-in Temple (Takasaki Byakue Dai-Kannon)

Beautiful, day or night. There are some nice trails around the mountain, but sadly, coming from the city on foot there are no sidewalks, be careful.

Very serence place. The statue is 41 meters high. You need a car to conveniently visit the temple. If you’re hopping on a bus, plan ahead and take the Kannonyama Bus # 13 or 14 at platform 8 in Takasaki bus terminal.

Nice little temple with a large kannon statue that you can climb stairs to her shoulders. There are hiking trails around the area and a couple of shops. Free parking.

The statue itself was absolutely beautiful. I would suggest coming to this area in the beginning of August as they have a lantern festival there. Unfortunately due to covid we weren't able to enter the statue, but we wandered around the beautiful area, where there were many little shops and attractions. Make sure to get here before 6 pm during lockdowns as they close quite early.

Beautiful scenery and worth the hike! Even though it was a holiday, the place isn't crowded. Tip: The place looks amazing during the golden hour in the afternoon. Details- May 4th, 4-6:00 PM
