Sanmon
京都市東山区林下町４００
The head temple of the Jodo-shu (Pure Land) sect, located in a place with historical ties to the passing of the founder, Hogen. It has attracted widespread devotion from the Tokugawa shoguns to common people.
History
Built in a place with historical ties to the later years and death of Hogen, the founder of the Jodo-shu sect. After Hogen's death, the temple was destroyed during the Karoku Persecution but was later revived by Genchi. Emperor Go-Tsuchimikado bestowed the temple name 'Kadogama Zennin Koin Daikokuji' upon it. The current large-scale complex of buildings was established from the Edo period onward.

What visitors say
A wooden double gate boasting one of the largest scales in Japan, characterized by its overwhelming size and majestic presence. In addition to the architectural beauty with attention to detail, the sense of elevation when passing through the gate and the fantastical scenery created by nighttime lighting are also appealing features. The height of the stone steps leading to the precincts and the large plaque displayed beside the gate exude a dignified presence.
