Nikkozan Rinnoji Temple (Sanbutsudo): planning around dialysis

Tochigi · Nikko City

The main hall of Nikkozan Rinnoji Temple, part of the Shrines and Temples of Nikko World Heritage site. This area centres on Sanbutsudo Hall, which enshrines three principal Buddhist images. Rinnoji has other halls at separate locations, so this page uses the Sanbutsudo area as its location reference.

Planning sightseeing around dialysis

Visiting hours are 8:00–17:00 from April through October and 8:00–16:00 from November through March, with reception ending 30 minutes before closing. The official estimated visit for Sanbutsudo is 10–20 minutes. Events and preparations can make the hall unavailable at certain times, so check same-day information. Allow extra travel time when combining it with Taiyuin or other separately located halls.
