Yogen-in
京都市東山区三十三間堂廻り656
A Buddhist temple rebuilt in 1621 after a fire. It is known for its Sando-e (decorative sliding doors) featuring paintings of animals.
What visitors say
The temple offers numerous highlights that convey a sense of historical weight, including the Chitenjo (blood ceiling), Sando-e and fusuma-e (folding screen paintings) by Tawaraya Sotatsu. Visitors can tour the grounds with a guided explanation, allowing for a deep understanding of the background and details of the blood ceiling. Since public access is limited to specific dates, it is necessary to check social media or other sources in advance. The surrounding area is well-suited for temple hopping, as it is home to Sanjusangen-do and Hozu-ji.
