Sanko-ji, Buddhist temple in Ōharano, Nishikyō-ku, Japan.
The temple structures stand within extensive gardens, featuring traditional Buddhist architecture and sacred statues throughout the complex.
Founded in 1074, Sanko-ji originated from a thatched hut called Ojo-in Temple where monk Genzan resided during the Chogen period.
The temple serves as part of the Kyoto Rakusai Kannon Pilgrimage route and maintains the practice of Fudan nenbutsu, continuous Buddhist chanting.
Located at 3 Ishizukuri-cho in Kyoto's Nishikyo Ward, the temple grounds contain approximately 200 cherry trees of different varieties.
The temple houses the Nyoho Butsugen Mandala as its principal Buddha image and includes a worn statue of Binzuru believed to possess healing properties.
