Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple in Oku-Saga is said to be the "starting point for exploring Sagano."
In addition, the Adashino area is known as a place for funeral processions.
As for how to get to Sagano, we recommend the walking course from JR Saga Arashiyama Station. However, using the city bus or a taxi is also fine.

Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple
Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple which can be seen from 1:44 in the video, was built by Emperor Shotoku during the Nara period (710-794).
The main hall and the building housing the principal object of worship were built during the Kamakura period (1185-1333).
It has a history of being rebuilt from remains after being abandoned. It also goes by another name "The Temple of 1200 Arhats" from the different expressions of the 1,200 arhats carved by worshippers.
