Honganji yamashina betsu-in

The Honganji Yamashina Betsu-in stands as a branch temple of the Jodo Shinshu Buddhist tradition, featuring traditional Japanese religious architecture and gardens.

The temple emerged as part of the extensive network of Honganji temples that spread across Japan during the expansion of Jodo Shinshu Buddhism in the medieval period.

This temple maintains regular Buddhist ceremonies and rituals according to Jodo Shinshu traditions, connecting local residents with centuries-old religious practices.

Visitors can reach the temple through the Yamashina Station, following a direct path through the neighborhood streets of this eastern Kyoto district.

The temple grounds contain memorial tablets and ancestral records of local families, documenting generations of Buddhist practitioners from the Yamashina area.
