DescriptionAn old temple at Rokudo-no-tsuji, deeply connected with beliefs about the world of the dead. The Yakushido Hall and repository preserve a seated Yakushi Nyorai designated an Important Cultural Property, linking prayers for healing from illness and suffering with contemplation of the boundary between life and death. Traditions surrounding Ono no Takamura and Enma add further layers, making this a place to quietly encounter Kyoto’s distinctive view of mortality.
