Located around the temple grounds are a variety of stores and shops that specialize in Buddhist items that make for great souvenirs. Items include small Buddha statues, prayer beads, small wooden gongs, monks’ clothing, and incense. Even if you are not planning to do any shopping, these shops are a great place to browse and see interesting and unique items.
The best times to visit Jogyesa Temple are Buddha’s birthday or during the Lotus Lantern Festival when the courtyard of the temple is decorated with paper lanterns.
