Shuon-an, Ikkyuji Temple

4.0

This temple belonging to the Daitokuji school of Rinzai Zen Buddhism in Kyotanbe City, Kyoto Prefecture has the Buddha Shakyamuni as its principal object of worship. Ikkyu Sojun, known as the inspiration for the cartoon Ikkyu-san, gave the temple its alternate name Shuon-an and lived there until he passed away. In connection with Ikkyu's birthday in January, they hold an event called Ikkyu Zenaihi where patrons write vows for the coming year on ema votive plaques as offerings. Guests enjoy picturesque scenery throughout seasons, and it's a popular spot for viewing the colors of the changing leaves in fall.
