Founded in 1648 by Nagai Naomasa, this Soto Zen temple is
situated on the east bank of the Uji River in Kyoto Prefecture, opposite Byodo-in. The approach to the temple, known as
Kotozaka, is famous for its maple foliage in Autumn.
The temple's Heian-period statue of Kannon is said to have been brought
from the Tenarai-no-mori, a sacred grove that plays a part in the Uji
chapters of
The Tale of Genji, and is popularly referred to as the
Tenarai Kannon.
