DescriptionRurikō-in, the Kyoto temple of Muryōju-zan Kōmyō-ji, is surrounded by the natural beauty of Yase and is celebrated for fresh green maples and brilliant autumn foliage reflected across its polished interiors. Its principal image is a standing Amida Buddha said to date from the Muromachi period, whose rounded, graceful features express a quiet prayer for peace. Beyond the beauty of the gardens, the temple invites visitors to encounter the Pure Land through devotion to Amida. Admission is limited to special opening periods in spring, summer, and autumn.
