Rokudōchinnō-ji, Buddhist temple in Higashiyama-ku, Japan.
Standing near the eastern hills of Kyoto, Rokudōchinnō-ji maintains a treasure house containing fifteen remarkable Buddhist statues and religious artifacts from different periods.
The temple, founded in 963 by Buddhist monk Kūya Shōnin, served as a spiritual center during a devastating plague that affected the population of Kyoto.
The temple contains a notable standing statue of Kūya with small Buddha figurines emerging from his mouth, representing the manifestation of Buddhist teachings.
Located on Gojō-dōri street near Yamatoōji-agaru, the temple welcomes visitors daily and provides information in multiple languages about its artifacts and ceremonies.
During the annual Obon festival in August, people strike the Mukae-gane bell to welcome ancestral spirits back to the earthly realm.
