Description

Hōbodai-in Gantoku-ji is known as one of Kyoto’s smallest temples open for viewing Buddhist sculpture. Its main hall houses a National Treasure wooden bodhisattva in a half-seated posture, traditionally identified as Nyoirin Kannon. The image is distinguished by its poised form and subtle human warmth. In the quiet setting at the foot of the mountain, visitors can contemplate its serene beauty and the deep devotion it has inspired.
