Hyakumanben-Chionji Temple (Kyoto) : Photos and Reviews This temple is one of the head temples of the Jodo sect. As I passed through the gate, the first thing that surprised me was the vastness of the temple grounds. I was able to freely enter the main hall. A statue of Honen Shonin, the founder of the Jodo sect, was enshrined at the front.

A craft market is held at Hyakumanben Chionji Temple on the 15th of every month. (Closed in August)

I visited on a day when it was drizzling, but there were still a lot of people there.

So many stalls lined the grounds that the spacious precinct felt cramped.

There were lines in front of the popular shops.
