Otani Honbyo
京都市東山区五条橋東６丁目５１４
A cemetery and burial site for Shinran, owned by Nishi Honganji, the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha sect. It is commonly known as Nishi Otani.
History
This site serves as the burial place for Shinran, the founder of the Jodo Shinshu sect, and originates from the Otani Byodo (Otani Memorial Hall) established in 1272 CE (Bun'ei 9). The Edo Shogunate designated the current location as a replacement site due to the expansion of Chion-in. During the Kansei Persecution, when Otani Honganji was destroyed, the Sobyō (Ancestral Temple) containing Shinran's grave was spared and subsequently referred to as the 'Otani Dojo.'

What visitors say
Accessible on foot from Kiyomizu-dera, this temple features beautiful architecture reached by passing through a vast cemetery. The precincts exude a quiet and serene atmosphere. In particular, the contrast between the stone walls and the changing colors of the momiji (Japanese maple) leaves during autumn foliage season is widely enjoyed as a stunning view. The garden also offers opportunities to appreciate flowers and plants such as lotus.
