Zennō-ji

Zennō-ji stands at the base of Mount Tsukinowa, featuring traditional wooden architecture with golden accents and Chinese-influenced design elements throughout its structures.

The temple complex became part of the Sennyū-ji compound during the Heian period, contributing to the development of Buddhist practices in eastern Kyoto.

As one of the 33 Kannon temples of Kyoto and Osaka, Zennō-ji maintains centuries-old Buddhist ceremonies and meditation practices for visitors and practitioners.

The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults, including access to the main hall and surrounding gardens.

The temple houses a collection of rare Buddhist texts dating back to the Song Dynasty, preserved within its traditional archive buildings.
