Katsujiji Temple: Niomon Gate
京都市西京区大原野南春日町１２２３−１
Located in the Oharano plain in the southwestern suburbs of Kyoto, this is a famous 'Temple of Flowers' known for its cherry blossoms and autumn foliage. It is also well known as a temple associated with the poet Saigyo.
History
It is said to have been founded in the 8th year of Emperor Tenmu's reign (679 CE) by the monk En no Gyoja by imperial decree. In 784 CE (Enryaku 3), Saicho rebuilt the halls and monastic complex, enshrining the Medicine Buddha (Yakushi Nyorai) as the principal image. The temple was destroyed in the Onin War, with only the Niomon Gate remaining, but it was rebuilt in the Tensho era (1573–1592).
