Takiguchi-dera, Buddhist temple in Sagano area, Kyoto, Japan
The mountain temple stands on sloping terrain with a thatched-roof main hall nestled among trees in the western district of Kyoto.
Constructed during the late Heian period, the temple complex underwent multiple reconstructions while maintaining its original architectural principles through generations.
The temple holds deep connections to the Tale of the Heike, featuring two wooden Yokobue statues that represent elements from Japanese literary tradition.
The temple welcomes visitors daily between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM with an entrance fee of 300 yen, accepting only cash payments.
The temple houses an ancient spring known as Otowa, which influenced the initial selection of this location by Buddhist monk Enchin Shonin.
