Kōrin-in Temple - Kyoto

11月27日訪問。秋の特別公開。そんなに大きくないのですがお庭をしばらく眺めたあと裏手に回ったところの紅葉と苔のグラデーションが素晴らしくて、強く印象に残りました。今までみた紅葉で一番綺麗なグラデーションかも！！全体的にこじんまりしたお寺ですが雰囲気が良く、また紅葉の時期には訪れたいです！

good

Close your eyes and listen.

Not worth the ticket price!!! The complex has quite a few temples, each requires separate admission. A rip off.

In Daiei year (1521 to 1528), Notokuni's Sengoku Daimyo, Hatakeyama Yoshifusa, erected Kotoku Shoufu of Daitokuji 86th century as the open mountain, and has since become the Bodhi Temple of the Hatakeyama family. The founding year is also called Tenmon 2 (1533). After that, when the Hatakeyama family went down, it was renovated by the Sengoku Daimyo Maeda Toshiie who built the foundation of Kaga One Stone in Tensho 14 (1586), and will be protected as the Boedi Temple of the Maeda family. The main hall is an Irimoya-style, leather-framed building that shows the characteristics of the Muromachi period style. The floor is said to be the first in Japan. In addition, it is believed that they used to decorate barrier drawings such as Kanoh Motonobu and Tosa Mitsunobu, but they were lost during the confusion period of the Meiji Restoration from the end of the Edo period.

The entrance to the main gate is the Sakai gate, and features of the Shinshu architectural style during the Muromachi period. The front gate is Ping Tang Gate, which is one of the old gates at Daitokuji Temple. Kankyo-tei is a tea room with a corner plate added to the quadrangle of the Furuta Oribe taste named after the poem by Su Shi (Soshoku), and it looks like a cave because the sleeves come out between the floors, so Hora It is called -doko (cave floor). Hojo front garden was restored by Nakane Kinsaku based on the materials when the dismantling repair of the square was completed in 1978, and it is said that the stone group is placed on white sand, representing the ideal Horai world.

This temple consists of rock gardens. Each part of the garden had his own story which will be handed to you in English. It's a nice and quite place to take a small rest and enjoy the peaceful gardens.
