Shigain Monzeki, historically linked to the head priests of the Tendai sect, is one of the most prestigious temples in Sakamoto. It also preserves the system of sato-bō—residences for monks who had retired from Enryaku-ji—which shaped the town’s distinctive character as a religious community. Inside, the refined architecture and quiet gardens reveal the deep connection between faith, governance, and daily life.
