It is situated in the heart of Arashiyama and is considered one of the five major Zen temples in Kyoto. Its Sogenchi Garden is a nationally recognized historic site and a popular attraction for visitors from all over the world. The temple and garden are open to visitors throughout the year and attract many worshippers and tourists. Tenryu-ji Temple Background The temple is known for its exquisite architecture and beautiful gardens. Image: PIXTA/farmer The Tenryu-ji main temple is a significant historical site that is steeped in Japanese history. It was constructed in 1339 in memory of Emperor Go-Daigo and belongs to the Rinzai sect. The temple was built in place of the former Emperor Go-saga’s Kameyama-den, a palace that once stood on the same site. The temple is known for its exquisite architecture and beautiful gardens, which are considered some of the best examples of Japanese garden design. The temple has faced numerous challenges over the centuries, including eight major fires, but it has been rebuilt and restored to its former glory. The current temple complex was reconstructed in the 19th century and features stunning traditional Japanese architecture and serene gardens. The temple also houses numerous important Zen artifacts and artworks, including the famous painting “Dragon emerging from the clouds.” Temple’s Hojo, the main building, is a masterful example of Japanese style; its painted sliding doors and intricate wooden carvings are nothing short of stunning. A visit to the temple is an absolute must for those with an interest in Buddhism, Japanese history, or traditional Japanese architecture. Inside the Hojo, visitors can see an image of Shakyamuni Buddha, which has been designated as an Important Cultural Property. The Buddha sits on the altar, surrounded by a peaceful atmosphere that is conducive to meditation and introspection. The Hatto, or Dharma Hall, is another highlight of Tenryu-ji Temple, featuring images of Shakyamuni Buddha and his two chief bodhisattva disciples.
