Koshouji Temple
〒611-0021 京都府宇治市宇治山田２７−１
The first temple of the Japanese Soto Zen sect, founded by Dogen. It is known for its cultural assets, including the famous autumn foliage spot 'Kotozaka' and the Dharma hall (Daido) famous for its blood ceiling.
History
Established by Dogen, it is the first temple of the Japanese Soto Zen sect and is said to have originally been the Gokurakuji Temple of the Fujiwara clan. It was rebuilt at its current location in the Edo period by Nagamasa Nagai, the lord of Yodo Domain, using the remains of Fushimi Castle to construct the various halls.

What visitors say
The autumn foliage along Kotozaka, which stretches from the Stone Gate to the Main Gate, and the scenery of the garden on the east side of the Great Study Hall are beautiful, allowing for a calm and peaceful visit. A donation is required to enter the Dharma hall, but you can visit up to the front of the hall for free. The temple also offers services such as receiving a Goshuin (temple seal stamp) and experiences of Zazen (seated meditation) and Sakyō (copying sutras).
