山科駅から徒歩18分？けっこう遠かった！ 創建は703年だけれど、戦乱、荒廃を経て1665年に再建。
金運、勝負運のご利益があるのだそう。境内が広かったし、天井の龍の絵や、だまし絵のような襖絵がたくさんあり、見ごたえがある。紅葉もとても綺麗だった。巨大な枝垂れ桜があり、春はとってもきれいだろうな。
It was a bit far from Yamashina Station—18 minutes on foot? It felt surprisingly distant, perhaps because it was a hilly road! Although the temple was founded in 703, it underwent destruction and devastation, and was reconstructed in 1665. It is said to bring good fortune in business and in competitions.
It's a large temple with multiple buildings. The garden was lovely with a pond, and there were many impressive features inside the temple such as a dragon painting on the ceilings and trick art-like sliding door paintings. The autumn foliage was also incredibly beautiful. There was a massive weeping cherry tree, too, and it must be stunning in spring.
