Nanzan-in
京都市左京区南禅寺風呂山町８６−５ 南禅院
A sub-temple (tato) of Nanzan-ji, said to be the birthplace of the temple. It features the Sogen-chi (Sogen Pond), considered the oldest strolling garden with a pond in Kyoto, the mausoleum of Emperor Kameyama, and a seated statue designated as an Important Cultural Property.
History
In 1264 CE (Bun'ei 1), Emperor Kameyama built the Zenrin-ji-dono (Zenrin-ji Palace) as a retreat. In 1297 CE (Kōan 10), the Nanzan-in hall was established on this site to house the imperial Buddha statue. Later, when Zenrin-zen-ji was renamed Nanzan-ji, Nanzan-in became its sub-temple. It was revived in 1703 CE (Genroku 16) by Kikuchō-in and Ensei-in Zen-ni.

Located up a flight of stairs past the Suirokaku (Waterway Pavilion), this site is regarded as the origin of Nanzan-ji. The pond and strolling garden, dating to the late Kamakura period, exudes a serene atmosphere reminiscent of a deep mountain forest, allowing for a quiet stroll. Please note that visits are currently suspended due to roof re-tile construction.
