About This Video

Nisonin Temple stands a short walk from Arashiyama’s famous bamboo forest. The Tendai temple traces its founding to 834 and Emperor Saga.

Although its earliest buildings were lost during the Onin War, the temple remains a peaceful historic site known for its approach, garden setting, and quiet atmosphere.
