Jōshō-ji
京都市北区鷹峯北鷹峯町１
A Nichiren sect temple located in Takao, Kita Ward, Kyoto City, known for its connections to Hon'ami Kōetsu and the second-generation Yoshino Taifu. It is also a famous spot for cherry blossoms and autumn foliage, featuring historical architecture and gardens scattered throughout the grounds.
History
Established in 1616 CE (Genna 2) by Hon'ami Kōetsu and Kōsa as a 'place of refuge for the Lotus Sutra.' In 1627 CE (Kan'ei 4), Nichiren sect priest Nitsusen formally developed it as a temple and named it Jakukōzan Jōshō-ji. It is also known as a temple associated with the Yoshino Taifu, who contributed to the construction of the mountain gate and other structures.

What visitors say
The serene grounds of Takao are home to the vermilion-painted Yoshino Gate and the tea house 'Ichibō-an,' both associated with the Yoshino Taifu. Visitors can enjoy beautiful scenery during the fresh green and autumn foliage seasons. The main hall offers video presentations on the temple's history, and visitors can obtain a Goshuin (a temple's calligraphic seal stamp) and pay respects at the grave of the Yoshino Taifu. Please note that the presence of stairs means the site is not barrier-free.
