Zenkoji Temple is a National Treasure and will hold its very special and unique Gokaicho festival this spring (2015). The original Amidha Golden Triad has been completely hidden since the year 654. The hidden “sacred replica” of the Amidha Golden Triad will be revealed for all to see during Gokaicho from the 5th of April to the 31st of May. Many other Buddhist ceremonies will be held during this time, and it is also the perfect season to enjoy the cherry blossoms! Higashi-sando
