Nyoirin-ji, Buddhist temple in Yoshino, Japan
The temple complex contains multiple buildings, including a pagoda and treasure house, situated on the slope of Mount Yoshino opposite the town.
Emperor Go-Daigo established this temple as his spiritual center in the 10th century during the period of dual imperial courts in Japan.
The temple exhibits collections of religious artifacts, including mandala paintings and objects from Emperor Go-Daigo's imperial court of the 14th century.
Visitors can reach the temple through a 45-minute walk from Yoshinoyama Station or take a 20-minute walk from the Nakasenbon Koen Bus stop.
The forested slope above the temple grounds contains the mausoleums of Emperor Go-Daigo and his wife, facing toward their former capital of Kyoto.
