Otonashi Falls

Otonashi Falls is located in the forest a short distance from Raigo-in Temple. According to local legend, when the Buddhist priest Ennin (794–864) chanted shomyo here, he could not be heard over the sound of the rushing water. Eventually, however, his chanting formed a beautiful harmony, and the water fell silent. It is from this story that Otonashi gets its name, meaning “soundless.”

Better known by his posthumous name, Jikaku Daishi, Ennin spent nine years in China from 838 before returning to instruct his disciples in shomyo chanting. He built Raigo-in to serve as a training hall for chanting.

The forest surrounding the temple is a dense haven for wildlife, including deer. The trees are particularly beautiful when the leaves take on the colors of autumn.

無聲瀑布

從來迎院沿著山路前行不遠處，就可以看到無聲瀑布。當地傳說，佛僧圓仁（794-864）在此誦唱「聲明」（一種被稱為音聲法事的佛教音樂），起初湍急的瀑布聲蓋住了他的聲音，但隨著吟誦形成優美的和聲，瀑布聲消失了，這就是「無聲瀑布」之名的由來。

圓仁圓寂後，他的另一個名號「慈覺大師」聲名遠揚。圓仁自838年起曾在中國旅居9年，回到日本後將聲明傳授給自己的信徒，並将來迎院作為舉行聲明的道場。

來迎院四周的森林蔥鬱茂盛，是野鹿等野生動植物的寶庫。 每到秋天楓葉變紅時，森林會愈發五彩斑斕。
