    Hiking

    The pagoda of Seigantoji Temple was built directly in front of the stunning Nachi Falls (the highest waterfall in Japan at 133m). The Buddhist temple is located directly next to the Kumano Nachi Taisha Shrine of the Shinto faith, which underlines the often harmonious relationship between Buddhism and Shintoism. The temple is one of the few that still stands next to a Shinto shrine after the violent separation of the two faiths in the Meiji period. The original construction of the temple dates from the 5th to 7th century.
