Introduction to Jissoin temple
This is a prestigious temple where the head priest has historically been a descendant of the Imperial family. The main object of worship is a statue of Fudo Myoo (Acala), which is said to have been created during the Kamakura period (around the 13th to 14th centuries).
There are two gardens on the temple grounds. In the seasons of fresh green leaves and autumn foliage, the way the colors of the leaves are reflected on the floorboards is exceptionally beautiful.
