About Shinsenen

Shinsenen

Shinsenen is a temple of Toji Shingon in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto. It is located on the south side of Nijo Street from Nijo Castle. The original was a garden for the emperor who was built adjacent to Heian-Kyo Daidairi.

It is thought that the ikezawa of the remnants of the old Kyoto Lake(old Yamashiro Lake) which was originally here were maintained in the garden.

There is a bridge called “Houjoubashi” in the precincts, and it is said that the wish will come true when crossing while making a wish, and it gathers beliefs from the worshipers.
