Shinzenkō-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashiyama-ku district, Kyoto, Japan
The temple structures follow traditional Japanese architectural principles with curved roofs, wooden beams, and ornate decorative elements throughout the complex.
Founded in 1243, Shinzenkō-ji emerged during the Kamakura period as an essential religious center within the Sennyū-ji temple complex.
The temple maintains daily Buddhist ceremonies and rituals, preserving centuries-old traditions that connect modern practitioners with ancient spiritual practices.
Located near public transportation routes, the temple opens from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM with entrance fees of 500 yen for adults.
The temple grounds contain multiple imperial mausoleums, making it one of the few Buddhist institutions directly connected to Japan's imperial lineage.
