- Zenko-ji Temple - Nagano’s Zenkoji Temple is one of Japan’s most significant and well-loved temples. Established in the 7th century, it houses the first Buddhist statue ever brought to Japan when Buddhism was introduced in the 6th century. The original statue is kept hidden, but a replica is displayed to the public every six years for a few weeks. The next chance to see the statue is anticipated in 2028.
The role of Zenkoji in Nagano’s development was crucial: many major Japanese cities have their origins as castle towns, harbor towns, or temple towns. Nagano evolved from a temple town centered around the important Zenkoji Temple.
