Zenkoji Temple (善光寺), located in Nagano prefecture is one of the most important and popular temples in Japan. It was founded in the 7th century and stores the first Buddhist statue ever to be brought into Japan. The original statue is hidden while a copy of it is shown to the public every six years for few weeks. Historically, Zenkoji is famous for its involvement in the battles between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen in the 16th century. So, I recommend you guys to visit this temple once in a life.
