Kagon-ji (Suzumushi-ji)
京都市西京区松室地家町３１
A Rinzai Zen sect independent temple commonly known as Suzumushi-ji (Bell Cricket Temple) because it raises bell crickets throughout the four seasons.
History
The temple is said to have originated when Master Hotan established Ansho-ji, which was later renamed Kagon-ji in 1715 CE (Sho-toku 5). It relocated to its current site in Matsubo in 1723 CE (Kyo-ho 8), and in 1868 CE (Kei-o 4), Kei-kan entered the temple and it was reclassified under the Rinzai Zen sect.

The sound of bell crickets can be heard year-round. Visitors enjoy worshipping the Jizo statue wearing straw sandals and listening to lectures on the benefits of amulets and protective charms. The temple grounds are enveloped in a quiet atmosphere, and climbing the stone steps offers a panoramic view of the Kyoto cityscape. There is a parking lot and an admission fee, and depending on the number of lecture sessions, waiting times may occur.
