Nison-in
京都市右京区嵯峨二尊院門前長神町２７
A Tendai sect temple located in the Saga district of Kyoto City, named after its two principal statues: the 'Dispatched Shaka' (Shakyamuni) and the 'Welcoming Amida' (Amida Buddha). It is known for its approach path, famous for autumn foliage and cherry blossoms, as well as sites associated with the poet Fujiwara no Teika and the origin of Ogura an (a type of sweet bean paste).
History
Traditionally said to have been founded by Ennin in the early Heian period by imperial decree of Emperor Saga. It was revived in the early Kamakura period by senior disciples of Honen and became a training ground for the study of four sects. From the Nanbokucho period, it served as one of the 'Gokurodo Yonkain' (Four Temples of the Black Gate) managing Buddhist affairs within the imperial palace grounds, and came to belong to the Tendai sect from the late Edo period.

What visitors say
The approach path, known as the 'Autumn Foliage Horse Field' extending from the main gate, and the contrast of the red leaves in the garden are splendid. The temple grounds are enveloped in a serene atmosphere, allowing visitors to spend time peacefully away from the hustle and bustle. Its location at the foot of Mount Ogura, where one can feel the surrounding nature while visiting, is also a charm.
