During the Muromachi period (1185-1333), at the recommendation of the monk Muso Soseki, Takauji Ashikaga had this temple built to perform religious rites for the departed soul of Emperor Go-Daigo. Over the centuries, the temple has burned down on numerous occasions, so nothing is left of the original structures except the pond garden Sogenchi-teien, offering a beautiful fusion of noble cultural traditions and Zen cultural cleverness. Borrowing the views afforded by mounts Kamiyama, Arishiyama and Ogurayama as a backdrop, the famed chisen-kaiyushiki garden (strolling garden incorporating a pond) was the first site in Japan to be designated as a Special Historic Site and a Special Place of Scenic Beauty. And, in 1994, it was registered as a World Heritage Site.
Guide dogs are welcome (just in the garden), so visually impaired visitors can enjoy a visit to this temple. (Month checked: 2018.Dec, )
