Kawado Nishi-machi Jizōson
京都市上京区油小路通一条革堂西町５２４ 幸栄社
A Tendai sect nuns' monastery commonly known as Kawado, with the Thousand-Armed Kannon as its principal image. It is the 19th station of the Saikoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and has recently become known as the 'Cat Temple.'
History
In 1004 CE (Kan'ei 1), Gyoen restored the Ichiyo Kitabe-do at its former site and renamed it Gyoen-ji. Gyoen personally carved the Thousand-Armed Kannon image from a sacred tree obtained through divine guidance. This temple is the 19th station of the Saikoku 33 Kannon Pilgrimage and is the only nuns' monastery on the route.
