t	take google on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 黒門、赤門、白門、お地蔵さん通り、三重の塔、最古の大黒天、見所満載、本堂までなかなかの散歩でした。紅葉が?やはり美しい！湖東三山は最高ですね、そんなにたくさん人はおられなく、静かに見学できます。滋賀最高やん‼️ It was quite a walk to the Kuromon, Akamon, Shiromon, Jizo-san Street, Mie Tower, the oldest Daikokuten, full of highlights, and the main hall. Autumn leaves are ? beautiful! Koto Sanzan is the best, there are not so many people and you can visit quietly. Shiga is the best! ️
b	benboyd road on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 2回目の訪問です。今年は少し早かったようで、まだ緑の部分も多くありました。ちょうど今ライトアップが見られるみたいなのですが、家が遠いので、暗くなるまでいられないので諦めました。時間に余裕のある人はなかなかないチャンスなのでぜひ見て、写真をアップして欲しいなーと思います。お寺や神社の紅葉は京都に行きがちですが、雰囲気もいいし、そこまで混み合うこともないので好きなお寺です。山を登って行く道には風車とお地蔵さんが並んでいて、その雰囲気もずっと昔から続いてる風景なのかな？と思うと感慨深いです。 This is my second visit. It seems that this year was a little early, and there were still many green areas. It seems that you can see the light up right now, but I gave up because the house is far away and I can't stay until it gets dark. If you have enough time, this is a rare opportunity, so please take a look and upload your photos. The autumn colors of temples and shrines tend to go to Kyoto, but I like the temple because it has a nice atmosphere and is not so crowded. Windmills and Jizo-san are lined up on the road up the mountain, and I wonder if the atmosphere has been around for a long time. I am deeply moved when I think about it.
久	久我達 on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 湖東三山の一つで、天台宗のお寺です。本尊の阿弥陀様と金剛界八十一尊曼荼羅は密教らしく荘厳です。本尊に続く階段の両脇のお地蔵様は、秋には一体一体に風車がお供えされるそうです。脇にある名勝庭園も素晴らしいです。秋にまた来たいですね！ It is one of the three mountains of Koto and is a temple of the Tendai sect. The principal idol, Amitabha, and the Kongokai 81-son mandala are esoteric and majestic. Jizo on both sides of the stairs leading to the principal image are said to be offered a windmill in the fall. The scenic garden on the side is also wonderful. I want to come again in autumn!

R	Robin Helder on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very nice place but be ready to climb as there is a hill where you have to walk for about 300 meters.
J	Joyce Chan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful temple in autumn. Who wants to visit do prepare to walk up and down as it was scattered along mountain but it is worthy.

S	Shingo Sae-Lim on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (Trip was made back then on 27 Nov 2019, 2 years before the Covid-19 Pandemic hit) Some people say that the autumn foliage would look the same after seeing it a few times, and that one would get sick from it all after a while. Well I beg to differ. Every autumn foliage site I’ve visited has their own unique character and individual charm and no two will look or feel the same. Kongorinji is the 7th time I’m viewing the autumn foliage and my interest has yet to dwindle. We were very fortunate that we managed to visit this wonderful place thanks to the help of a very kind staff at Hikone’s tourist information centre (who booked a special taxi shuttle service), despite the autumn viewing season having just ended and the shuttle bus was no longer in service. Even though the autumn season was coming to an end, fortunately a lot of the trees have yet to shed most of their leaves and we were able to still appreciate it’s beauty. Just like Saimyoji, Kongorinji also has a beautiful trail lined with maple trees and a breathtaking garden where you can soak in the lush autumn colours. The temple at the top is enveloped in warm vivid colours as if it’s being held in the sun’s warm embrace. The maple leaves which carpeted the floor marks the end of the autumn season, evoking an entirely different feeling and signifies the beginning of winter. It is also known for colourfully dressed jizo statues and a national treasure main temple which houses the 11-faced Kannon statue 13 other statues of important cultural properties. Would love to return again in the future when travelling is possible again.
