History

Founded as an imperial wish-temple by Emperor Seiwa, this sanctuary has been nurtured by imperial faith throughout the centuries. It has witnessed the prayers of scholars and practitioners seeking virtue and enlightenment. Quietly standing in Kamigyō, it preserves the bond between ancient Kyoto and the imperial court.
