Tenneiji (Tennei Temple)

京都市北区寺町通鞍馬口天寧寺門前町天寧寺門前町301

4.2(84)

A Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Kita-ku, Kyoto City, with the mountain name Banso-zan (Myriad Pine Mountain). It is known for its 'Frame Gate' (Gaku-buchi-mon), which frames the view of Mount Hiei like a painting, and for the tomb of Kinmura Munewaka, a tea master of the Edo period.

History

Originally believed to have been located in the Aizu castle town, it was relocated to its current site during the Tensho era (1573-1592). The main buildings were destroyed in the Tenmei Great Fire, but the main hall was rebuilt in 1812 (Bunka 9) and the shoin (guest quarters) in 1842 (Tenpō 14).

The 'Frame Gate' is famous for framing the view of Mount Hiei like a painting in a frame. The temple grounds are quiet and well-maintained, featuring seasonal flowers and unique stone lanterns. While some buildings are closed to the public, you are free to explore the grounds once you pass through the main gate.
