About Bishamon-do Temple

Bishamon-do Temple

The Bishamon-do Temple in Yamashina ward, Kyoto City is a temple of Tendai sect. Bishamondo is one of Tendai sect Kyoto five gate traces and is also called Bishamondomonzeki. The Izumo Temple of Bishamondo’s predecessor is said that Gyoki founded in 703.

Bishamon-do Temple is a little bit in the mountains, when you go through the approach, the foliage is dotted on both sides of the road, which arouses the anticipation of the main temple. And, the slope of the approach near the entrance is dyed like a red carpet by the autumn leaves when the autumn leaves bloom, and you can see beautiful appearance coupled with the surrounding foliage.

The temple itself has become a kind of building where Buddha-transmitting temples and shrines are mixed together, and I’m a little lost in how I can pray. In addition, the Japan garden of the inside is a pay admission fee, but I returned without seeing it because it had shifted slightly with the season of the autumnal leaves this time, and it is a place where I want to see by all means if autumn leaves season.
