Hokkongoin

京都市右京区花園扇野町49

A Ritsu (Vinaya) sect temple located in Hanazono, Ukyo Ward, Kyoto City, featuring the National Treasure statue of Seated Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha) and Aonume-no-taki, considered Japan's oldest artificial waterfall.

History

The temple originated when the mountain villa of Kiyohara Nagano was converted into a temple. It was later renamed Ten'anji by the initiative of Emperor Murakami. It was revived by the consort Jōkenmon'in during the late Heian period and renamed Hokkongoin. It was restored as a Ritsu sect temple during the Kōan era, and the main hall and sutra repository were rebuilt by the monk Shōchin during the Gen'ō era.
