Jōzen-ji, Buddhist temple in Imadegawa, Kyoto, Japan
The temple complex includes the main hall, meditation halls, and smaller sanctuaries connected by stone pathways through traditional gardens.
Founded in 863 by monk Ennin, the temple relocated to Kuramaguichi district in 1594 and changed its affiliation from Tendai to Jodo Buddhism.
The temple holds the Kuramaguichi Jizo statue, part of the Roku-Jizo pilgrimage circuit where participants visit six temples during August festivals.
The temple opens irregularly for visitors, with access possible through Kuramaguichi Station on the Karasuma subway line, followed by a 5-minute walk.
The temple grounds contain a memorial stone marking the burial site of eight Choshu clan warriors who died in the 1864 Hamaguri Gate Incident.
