Kimiidera Temple

Reviewed By AnnK169 - Sydney, Australia

It's a short distance walk from the Kimiidera train station to the base of the temple. It was drizzling when we go there, so the temple was a bit isolated, but it was so peaceful and tranquil around the temple area. Be prepared to walk up hundreds of steps up to the temple and around the area, so it's a bit hard for those with walking difficulties to walk up to the temple. At the top of the temple you can have a great view of the town. After visiting the temple, just walk out straight, cross a railway track crossing and take a bus from the main road to Marina City.
