Japanese Sweets of Hozan-ji Temple
Hozan-ji Temple is widely known as 'Ikoma no Shoten-san.' Along its long approach, Japanese sweets have been sold as temple-gate treats since long ago. Perched halfway up Mount Ikoma, Hozan-ji is a sacred site bustling with worshippers seeking the blessing of prosperity in business. At the teahouses lining the approach, simple Japanese sweets have long been enjoyed by visitors on their way to or from worship. Their gentle sweetness soaks into the body after the climb up and down the long stone steps. Taking a break with a cup of tea helps ease the fatigue of the journey. These are soothing Nara sweets that can be enjoyed alongside the unique atmosphere of a temple town. They are the taste of the Hozan-ji approach that you'll want to take home as a memento of your pilgrimage.
