60 minutes · Daruma, the Wisdom Ring & charms
Find number 8, 智慧の環, on the official map. This is a reflective circular walk, rather than a puzzle maze. Follow the entrance and signs on site.
Walk slowly clockwise for seven circuits, reaching the centre.
From the centre, reverse direction for seven circuits, returning to the entrance.
The temple associates this walk with renewed energy and wisdom. Take a moment to settle your thoughts; there is no need to hurry towards an answer.

The temple introduced a JR Central collaboration charm called Nozomi Daruma, which you can look inside like a kaleidoscope. It was offered through an EX travel reservation plan; check current availability and booking conditions before visiting. Do not assume it can be bought on arrival.
