At the foot of Kachōzan, one of the thirty-six mountains in Kyoto’s Higashiyama district, lie the 106 large and small buildings that make up the Chion-in, the head temple of the Jōdo Shū(Pure Land Sect). Appropriate for the birthplace of the Jōdo Shū, the stately appearance of the Chion-in welcomes those who visit with a serene air amidst solemn surroundings. Here, we will introduce the places to see at the Chion-in for those who wish to visit.
