Crown Prince Commemorative Hall
On September 18, 1908, Crown Prince Yoshihito, the future Emperor Taisho (1879–1926), visited Yamadera. The imperial visit greatly raised national awareness of Yamadera as a tourist destination and is considered an integral factor to its 1932 designation as a Place of Scenic Beauty and Historic Site. The building constructed in the upper reaches of the temple complex as a place for the prince to rest during his visit is now known as the Crown Prince Commemorative Hall.
