Entoku-in, Buddhist temple in Higashiyama district, Japan
Entoku-in temple complex contains two distinct gardens with large rocks, both featuring traditional Japanese dry landscape designs that reflect mountain and water patterns.
The temple, founded in 1632, originated from a residence of Nene, wife of ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who transferred parts of Fushimi Castle to this location.
The temple holds significant fusuma paintings on silver-backed paper, depicting landscapes and natural elements in the main hall, representing Momoyama period artistry.
The temple grounds open daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with special evening illuminations during autumn, offering combined tickets with neighboring Kodaiji Temple.
Visitors can experience traditional Japanese sand drawing and calligraphy sessions in designated areas of the temple, learning from local artisans.
