Tendai sect Gohozan Ankokuin Izumoji Bishamon-do Bishamon-do is a Tendai sect temple that was opened in 703 by Emperor Bunmu. When the temple first opened, it was located near the Izumoji Bridge in Kyoto (to the north of the current imperial palace) and was called ``Izumo-ji'', but later became ``Bishamondo''. After overcoming wars and fires, it was rebuilt in its current location in Yamashina in 1665. After the priest Tenkai, who worked hard to restore Bishamondo, and his disciple Kokai, it became a ``Monzeki temple'' when Emperor Gosai's son, Prince Koben, entered the temple, and it continues to be one of the Tendai sect Kyoto's five temples. .
The principal image is Bishamonten. Many people call him ``Bishamon-san'' and have deep faith in him. Highlights include historical buildings and cultural properties such as the precious main shrine and Karamon gate that still convey the Japanese architecture and atmosphere of the 17th and 18th centuries, as well as the beautiful scenery of the precincts, which are rich in nature and are known as a famous spot for cherry blossoms and autumn leaves.
