Jingo-ji Temple is a temple of the Koyasan Shingon sect, located in Takao-cho, Umegahata, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto City. The principal image is Yakushi Nyorai (the Healing Buddha). The founder was Wake no Kiyomaro. It is a mountain temple located on the mountainside of Mt. Takao (924m) in the Atago mountain range, and is known as a famous spot for autumn leaves. From the Takao Bridge over the Kiyotaki River, the long approach leads into the mountains, where the Kondo (main hall), Tahoto (pagoda), Daishido (hall dedicated to Kobo Daishi), and other buildings stand. Jingo-ji Temple is an important temple in the history of Japanese Buddhism, where Kobo Daishi (Kukai) temporarily resided before managing To-ji Temple and Mt. Koya, and where Saicho also lectured on the Lotus Sutra. This offering is a set of two items: a special goshuin (temple stamp) and a document of origin, available until December 10th. Visiting Jingo-ji Temple: Jingo-ji Temple, one of the three famous temples of Sanbi (Toganoo, Makinoo, and Takao), has a vast precinct covered with the green of trees and autumn leaves. The vermilion Kondo competes in color with the maples, the Daishido stands quietly, enduring the wind and snow of the 7th century, and the Tahoto stands out from the green, a beauty that cannot be fully captured by a paintbrush. From the garden of Jizo-in Temple, located at the westernmost end of the precinct, you can see the Nishiki-kyo Gorge created by the clear stream of the Kiyotaki River, a valley of a thousand fathoms where the "kawarake-nage" (throwing of unglazed earthenware plates) is famously practiced, with the destination of the plates uncertain.
