About Shojiji temple

Shojiji temple

Shojiji Temple is a temple of Tendai in Nishikyo-ku, Kyoto, honorific mountain name prefixed to a temple’s name is Oshio mountain. The principal image is Bhaisajyaguru.

It is said that Saigyo, a singing monk, became a priest in this temple, and because there is a double cherry blossom “Saigyo Sakura” which is said that the Saigyo monk planted himself, it came to be familiar as “Temple of the Flower”.

There are many cherry blossoms planted in the precincts, so it looks as if the inside of the temple is buried in the flowers during full bloom. The pictures on this page are not from the cherry blossoms season, if you visit here during the Cherry blossom season, you will be able to see good views.
