Zuisen-ji, Buddhist temple in Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, Japan
Zuisen-ji Temple stands near the Sanjo Bridge along the Kamo River, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements and a peaceful garden within its grounds.
The temple was established in 1611 by merchant Suminokura Ryoi to honor Toyotomi Hidetsugu and his 39 family members who were executed at this location in 1595.
The temple belongs to the Jodo Shu Seizan Zenrinji Buddhist sect and contains 49 stone stupas commemorating the executed family members of the Toyotomi clan.
Visitors can access Zuisen-ji Temple by taking a 3-minute walk from Sanjo Station on the Keihan Line or a 4-minute walk from City Hall Station.
The temple grounds contain the original stone chest that once held the head of Toyotomi Hidetsugu, now incorporated into a hexagonal monument.
