Suminobō

Located within the Nishi Hongan-ji complex, Suminobō comprises traditional wooden structures with detailed architectural elements reflecting Japanese temple design principles.

The temple, established in 1857, became an integral part of the Nishi Hongan-ji complex, contributing to the growth of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in Kyoto.

Suminobō maintains deep connections with local religious practices, offering spaces for Buddhist ceremonies and community gatherings throughout the calendar year.

Visitors can reach the temple grounds through multiple transportation routes from central Kyoto, with dedicated parking spaces available near the entrance.

The temple holds dual significance as both a Buddhist sanctuary and a designated place of death, marking it as a site of profound spiritual importance.
