Amazing temple. You should come here if you want a gochuin book with the nachi falls. They do amazing gochuins here. Also the three storied pagoda is part of this temple.

The Seiganto-ji Temple is located right next to the Taisha. Comparatively, I like this temple more as it gives a stronger sense of Buddhism and the architect of it is more historic. I also really like the calligraphy (御朱印) they wrote for me.

Right next to the Nachi Taisha and Falls. You will visit here naturally as you progress from the falls to the Nachi Taisha or vice versa. The pagoda with the waterfall in the background is a beautiful one of a kind sight.
