Jinnō-ji

The Jinnō-ji temple features traditional Japanese architectural elements including prayer halls, sanctuaries, and carefully maintained pathways throughout the grounds.

Founded in 888 CE under Emperor Uda's direction, the temple holds special significance as the emperor himself became its first abbot after his retirement.

The temple houses valuable Buddhist artworks, including wooden Amida triad sculptures that demonstrate the refined craftsmanship of the 9th and 10th centuries.

Located at coordinates 36.379528, 140.456972, the temple maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes both religious practitioners and general visitors throughout the year.

The temple grounds contain a collection of cherry trees that create a seasonal display when their blossoms open during spring.
