This temple originated in Fukushima, but was moved to Kyoto in the late 1500s. If you stand in front of the gate you can enjoy a perfectly framed view of Mount Hiei. An ancient tree stands within the grounds that has survived both lightning strike, and a fire that destroyed the temple buildings in 1812. Also, the temple cemetery containsthe graves of some historical figures including a famous Edo tea master and the monk who invented the Jigen style of kendo.
