About Shinnyodo Temple
The official name of Shinnyodo is Shinshogokurakuji, and it is a temple of Tendai in Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City. It is the begining that the monks of Mt.Hiei in 984 enshrined the Buddha Amitabha in the Imperial villa. Shinnyodo has gained the faith of Nenbutsu devotees and commoners, especially women, as Fudan Nenbutsu’s dojo. In recent years, it has gained popularity as a spot of autumnal leaves.
I went to this temple to take pictures of autumn leaves, and looked around only the perimeter, so I do not know how the inside, but on the inside, it seems that there are some pretty impressive things like treasures and gardens.
When I photographed here, the leaves were colored in particular. Shinnyodo is not a very large temple, so it might be a good idea to stroll along with the neighboring Ginkaku temple and Heian shrine.
