Jūrin-ji, Buddhist temple in Nishikyo District, Kyoto, Japan
The temple grounds feature a distinctive garden called Sanpo Fugan, encircled by elevated corridors, a tea room, and palatial structures.
Founded in 850 by Emperor Montoku for his consort's safe childbirth prayers, the temple houses a statue of Enmei Jizo Bodhisattva created by Dengyo Daishi.
The temple earned its nickname 'Narihira Temple' from the renowned Heian period poet Ariwara no Narihira, who spent his final years at this location.
Located at 481 Oharano Oshiocho, the temple opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with an entrance fee of 400 yen for general admission.
A 200-year-old weeping cherry tree known as 'Narihira Sakura' creates a natural canopy over the central garden during spring blooming season.
