Danzinji Temple

京都市右京区嵯峨鳥居本小坂町2−10

3.0(104)

An independent temple of the Shingon sect located in Ukyo Ward, Kyoto. Its mountain name is Matsu Moriyama. The Reihokan (Spiritual Treasure Hall) houses items associated with an empress and Buddhist artworks.

History

Originally established in the early Heian period by Tachibana Kazuko, the empress of Emperor Saga, as a Zen sect nunnery, it fell into disuse by the mid-Heian period. The current Hozonkaku Danzinji Temple was revived in 1964 (Showa 39) to commemorate the virtue of Empress Danrin. It has no direct connection to the Heian-period Danzinji Temple.
