Jojakkoji Temple

A scenic spot for autumn leaves in silence.

An ancient temple named after the Buddhist utopia, Jojakkodo. It is believed to be the site of the mountain villa of the poet Fujiwara no Teika. Located in the middle of Mt. Ogura, the grounds are bathed in red autumn leaves.
Pictured is the oldest building. The Niomon statue is said to have been created by Unkei.

  Built in the early Edo period, the two-storied pagoda is designated as a national important cultural property. The tower over the autumn leaves is quaint.
