Seiwa-in

京都市上京区一観音町428−1

4.1(69)

Kasazaka-zan Kan'no-ji Seiwa-in is a temple of the Chisan school of Shingon Buddhism located in Nakagyō-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture. It is also the 33rd station of the Ryo-yō 33 Kannon Pilgrimage.

History

The temple traces its origins to Butshin-in, founded at the request of Empress Sennin. After Emperor Saga's abdication, it was used as a residence for imperial princes and princes of the blood. It was later revived by Teru-ku Shin-nichi and granted the name Seiwa-in. Following its destruction in the Imperial Palace fire, it was rebuilt at its current location as a Shingon temple by Emperor Go-Mizunoo.
