Rinsen-ji is tucked away in the forest at the base of the hill below Kasugayama Shrine, and can be explored for a small fee. The temple has an impressive wooden mon (gate), behind which is a lovely little temple garden before steps lead to the main temple building. Off to one side is a small museum presenting the history of the temple and its most famous devotee: Sengoku Period regional hero, Uesugi Kenshin.
A visit to the temple on the day of the annual festival held in Kenshin's honour (late August) sees the temple come alive with taiko drums and a procession of samurai, reenacting the day Kenshin and his generals prayed for victory before heading into battle with their infamous rival, Shingen Takeda.
Rinsen-ji is a beautiful little temple and well worth a visit.
