Ishibouji Temple
京都市伏見区深草石峰寺山町２６
A temple of the Obaku sect, enshrining Shakyamuni (the historical Buddha) as its principal image. It is known for the stone statue group of the Five Hundred Arhats, for which Ito Jakuchu created the preliminary sketches, and for housing Jakuchu's grave.
History
Founded during the Hogen era (1704–1711 CE) by Senbo Shogaku, the sixth abbot of Manpukuji, the head temple of the Obaku sect. It is said to have originated from Shararenzan Ishibouji Temple, which was built in the mid-Heian period in Tada District, Settsu Province. Additionally, the painter Ito Jakuchu established a thatched hut at the temple's entrance to live in seclusion and was later buried here.

What visitors say
The temple grounds, surrounded by the greenery at the foot of the mountain, feature a row of Five Hundred Arhat stone statues with diverse expressions, creating a serene atmosphere. The modest yet well-maintained grounds and mountain paths provide a calm environment for worship. While photographing the stone statues is prohibited, the scenic landscape, vermilion-colored approach path, and the Karomon (Chinese-style gate) are notable highlights.
