One of the oldest Buddhist temples in South Korea, it was originally founded during the Baekje era and rebuilt during the Shilla Dynasty. They offer a temple stay based on the theme "Let us prepare for death," which has programs on death invocations and praying before death. The road to the temple is lined with cherry trees that bloom beautifully in the spring. The temple proper is located behind the Tibetan Museum (tel. 061/852-3038).
