Overwhelming! The Toro-do is Okunoin's main hall of worship. The hall is famous for the many, many lanterns which are lit in honor of Kobo Daishi (ak.a. Kukai). Only a small part of the 11.000 lanterns hangs in this building, the vast majority of the lanterns hang and stand in the Kinentoro-do on the right side of the Toro-do. These lamps are donated by worshippers of Kobo Daishi, and are lit eternally. The Toro-do has an other amazing treasure: in the hall's basement are 50,000 tiny statues that have been donated to Okunoin on the occasion of the 1150th anniversary of Kobo Daishi's entrance into eternal meditation in 1984. The pinnacle of your visit to the Okunoin.

Very unique place, very good mix of nature and temple. Don’t miss the basement full of lanterns, and the other building full of lantern as well, i’ve never seen this anywhere else in Japan ! You can’t enjoy the inside at night in summer because it’s closing at 5pm, but in winter go there before closing time and it’s even more impressive when it’s dark. The night walk through the woods / cemetery has a unique feeling too.

Beautiful hall, check out the upper and lower levels. No pictures allowed but it is beautiful to walk thru
