Hiden-in Temple

京都市東山区泉涌寺山内町35

4.0(86)

A temple belonging to the Sen-ongu-ji branch of the Shingon sect, it serves as a Tato (a subsidiary temple) of the head temple, Sen-ongu-ji. It houses a seated statue of the Crowned Amida Nyorai (Amitabha Buddha), traditionally attributed to the sculptor Kaikei.

History

Founded in 1308 CE (Kenkei 1) by the monk Mujin Nyodo, it is said to have taken over the site of the former Sai Hiden-in. It was designated as a Chogon-ji (a temple receiving imperial patronage) by Emperor Go-Hanazono, and its successive abbots have been granted permission to wear the purple robe (Shie) when visiting the Imperial Palace in Kyoto. In 1645 CE (Shoho 2), it accepted the patronage of Nagamasa Nagai and relocated to its current location. In 1885, it merged with the Sen-ongu-ji subsidiary temple, Jumyo-in.

Located a short walk from the approach path to Sen-ongu-ji, this temple offers a quiet and solemn atmosphere. The grounds are compact, but the elevated area provides a scenic viewpoint overlooking the city of Kyoto. While generally closed to the public, visitors can view the temple by reservation or on special open days, and Goshuin (temple seal stamps) are also available.
