Injō-ji, Buddhist temple in Kamigyō-ku, Japan

The temple complex features traditional wooden structures surrounded by garden landscapes, with the main hall housing a seated statue of Enma-o.

Founded in the early seventeenth century, Injō-ji was established by ONO no Takamura and received mention in Luis Frois' Historia de Iapan during the Azuchi-Momoyama period.

The temple maintains a collection of Kyogen performances, revived by the Senbon Enmado Kyogen Hozonkai preservation society after the 1974 fire.

Visitors can reach the temple via Kyoto City Bus route 206, stopping at Kenryuko-mae station, followed by a two-minute walk to the entrance.

The temple grounds contain late-blooming Fugenzo-zakura cherry trees that drop their flowers in complete corollas, creating a natural display.
