Toji Keikamon
京都市南区九条町１
A historic temple that serves as the head temple of the Shingon sect and is also known as Kongo Gokokuji. It is registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and houses numerous National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties.
History
Construction began as a government temple to protect the Heian capital. It was bestowed by Emperor Saga to Kukai. It flourished as the fundamental training ground for Shingon esoteric Buddhism, leaving behind many cultural assets, including National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties. From the medieval period onward, as devotion to Kobo Daishi (Kukai) grew, it became a place of popular faith known as 'the temple of the Great Master.'

What visitors say
During the illumination events, the fantastical scenery of the Moonlight Corridor and the Five-Story Pagoda is breathtaking. The Moonlight Corridor is crowded, so advance reservations are recommended, and precautions against dust on the gravel are necessary. The scenery changes with the seasons, featuring lotus flowers and autumn foliage, and visitors can also enjoy the bustle of events like the Kobo Market.
