[Kyoto] Mountain gate associated with Fushimi Castle

●Name Genku-ji Temple ●Access 745 Setomono-cho, Fushimi-ku, Kyoto 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points The highlight of Genku-ji Temple is the two-story mountain gate This mountain gate has an unusual style like a castle gate and creates a mysterious beauty When Fushimi Castle was abandoned, some of the buildings inside the castle were moved and remodeled into a temple-style tower gate On both sides of the mountain gate are enshrined statues of Asahi Daikokuten, Jizo Bodhisattva, and Aizen Myoo The senders of these statues on both sides seem to be Tokugawa Iemitsu and Toyotomi Hideyoshi Although it is not a major tourist spot in the Fushimi area, the two-story mountain gate is worth seeing 👀 #tripmemory2022 #Kyoto #Temples and Shrines
