Kyōhō-in, Buddhist temple in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto, Japan.

The Kyoho-in temple features a main hall where Princess Tsuneko, the second daughter of Prince Sadamichi, receives devoted attention and respect.

Founded in 1505, this temple served as the family temple for Sakon Shima, a military commander who supported Ishida Mitsunari during the feudal period.

The temple maintains a collection of treasures including artworks by Shiko Munakata, Gyoshun Matsumura, and Nobuhiro Hamamoto depicting Buddhist themes.

Visitors can receive temple stamps between 2 PM and 5 PM on weekdays and 1 PM to 5 PM during weekends, with advance phone reservations required.

After three visits to the temple, guests receive a special certificate containing passages from all 32 chapters of the Lotus Sutra.
