日本の古典文学、「枕草子」や「源氏物語」、「更級日記」などにも多く登場するので、遥か昔から大人気のお寺だったことが分かります。

こちらが長谷寺への参道。
松のトンネルをくぐって奥へ奥へ。

やがて歴史ある建物が見えてきます。
これが本堂？いえいえ、まだまだここはお寺への入り口にすぎません。

本堂へ向かう回廊


この先に見えて来るのが「登廊（のぼりろう）」。
実に３９９段の階段が本堂へと導いてくれます。
一段一段、ゆっくりと自分の足で登ることで、ありがたみが増すのですね。

Since many classical literature of Japan, such as "The Pillow Book," "The Tale of Genji", and also "Sarashina Diary" are introduced, you can see what are the extreme popularity temples from long ago.

This road is approaching to Hase-dera Temple. It leads to the temple deep inside under the tunnel of pines.

You can finally see a historic building. Is this the main hall? No, no, you are not passing through the entrance of temple yet.

Corridor toward the main hall

What you just saw is "Noboriro (climbing corridor)".
There is a staircase of 399 steps that leads you to the main hall indeed.
When you are climbing on your feet slowly one by one step, you will feel the blessing is increasing gradually.
