Photo Goveror Kujo Kanetoshi built this temple in 992 by Imperial edict. It used to be a large temple with pagodas and halls, but there are only a main Hall, a belfry and Fukuju-in House left now. When you walk through the path along the long stone walls with rich moss, you'll imagine how large and gorgeous this temple was in those days. Multi-colored leaves are so mach spectacular in the fall.
