[2025 Ueda Attraction] Travel Guide for Kitamuki Kannon temple (Updated Apr)

#Spring0yenTrip Bessho Onsen is a quiet hot spring resort in Nagano Prefecture that has long been popular as a hot spring resort. Historical inns and hot spring facilities are dotted around the hot spring town, giving it a nostalgic atmosphere. Oyu in particular is an old hot spring, and the tasteful buildings and the scenery of rising steam were impressive. While soaking in the hot spring, I was able to enjoy a relaxing time surrounded by the surrounding nature. Bessho Onsen also has Onsenji Temple, which is famous as the center of hot spring worship and is a temple with a history of over 1,300 years. There is also a beautiful three-story pagoda in the grounds, and its magnificent architecture attracts visitors. In the tranquility of Onsenji Temple, I was able to calm my mind while feeling the history and culture. Bessho Onsen is a place where you can enjoy not only hot springs but also these historical temples and buildings, and spend a peaceful time.

Kitamuki Kannon-do in Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍 𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃◌𓈒𓐍𓂃 The principal image is the Thousand-Armed Kannon. The Thousand-Armed Kannon, which is built facing north, is for praying for benefits in this life, while the Amida Nyorai of Zenkoji Temple, which is built facing south, is for praying for rebirth in the afterlife in the future. For this reason, worshiping only one of the present or future is considered a one-sided visit, and it is said that it is better to worship both. The grounds have many attractions, including the main hall, Aizen-do, Onsen Yakushi Ruri-den, Fudasho Kannon-do, and Goma-do (Fudo-do)! Bessho Onsen in this area was designated a Japan Heritage Site in 2020, and we also saw a foot bath along the way. ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ ꕥTemple name: Kitamuki Kannon-do ꕥAddress: 1656 Bessho Onsen, Ueda City, Nagano Prefecture ꕥAccess: 🚉 Bessho Onsen Station → approx. 10 minute walk ✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼••┈┈┈┈••✼ #0 yen travel autumn #Nagano #Temple #Temple tour
