Jissō-in, Buddhist temple in Iwakura, Kyoto, Japan
The temple features a large rock garden and a reception hall with reflective wooden floors that mirror the surrounding maple trees and greenery.
Established in 1229 by Monk Joki, the temple buildings were relocated from the Kyoto Imperial Palace during the Edo period in 1721.
The temple maintains a registered cultural property status and houses valuable artifacts, including calligraphy works by Emperor Goyozei from the 16th century.
The temple opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults and 250 yen for students.
The temple floor creates natural reflections of maple leaves and fresh greenery, known as yukamomiji and yukamidori respectively.
