Tōboku-in, Buddhist temple in Yoshidayama, Kyoto, Japan
The temple grounds incorporate several traditional wooden structures, including a main hall and surrounding garden spaces on the slopes of Yoshidayama.
Dating from the Heian period, Tōboku-in gained recognition as the final residence of the distinguished poet Izumi Shikibu during her last years.
The temple maintains connections to Japanese literary heritage through its association with Izumi Shikibu, whose tomb lies within the adjacent Seishin-in Temple grounds.
Visitors can reach the temple by following the walking paths that wind through the Yoshidayama area, connecting several religious structures in this district.
The temple grounds offer views of traditional Buddhist architecture while preserving the memory of one of Japan's most influential female poets.
