Jōrin-ji

京都市左京区田中下柳町33

4.1(89)

A Jōdo-shū (Pure Land) temple, known as one of the "Three Temples of Sunagawa" alongside Jōtoku-ji and Seijō-in. In Kyoto, it has long been recognized as the "Hagi Temple" (Temple of Bush Clover).

History

Founded in 1573 CE (Tenshō 1) by the monk Rōdō, who specialized in nembutsu (recitation of the Buddha's name). Around 1591 CE (Tenshō 19), the temple was established near its current location after land was allocated under Toyotomi Hideyoshi's urban planning policies. During the Edo period, it served as a duty temple for Chion-in. Following a fire in 1671 CE (Kanbun 11), the temple was relocated to its present site, and the current main hall was built in 1698 CE (Genroku 11).

What visitors say

Located near Yasui Station, this temple is affectionately known as the "Hagi Temple" for its bush clover flowers. From late September to early October, the grounds are filled with blooming hagi, allowing visitors to enjoy the flowers while walking around. As it is not a major tourist temple, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful. It is also historically noted as the former residence of Katsu Kaishū.
