About Jissoin Temple
Jissoin is a Buddhist temple in Iwakura, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, the founder is Joki, and the principal image is Acala. Jissoin is a small temple, but there are two Japanese-style gardens in the precincts. One of them is between Shoin and precinct in the Sansui garden. One of them is between Shoin and Kyakuden in the Sansui garden. Another garden is the majestic rock gardens with views of Mt. Hiei.
In addition, “floor maple” and “floor midori” are worth a look because the outside trees are reflected in the floor of the room called the waterfall room. (Photography is prohibited.) Jissoin is known as its famous viewing maple leaves spot in northern Kyoto city.
Apart from the photos listed here, it was a place where there was a tightened atmosphere unique to temples such as a magnificent Buddha statue.
