Rokuo-in Temple

4.0

This temple was founded as a sub-temple of Hodoji Temple by monk Fumyo Kokushi in 1379 under orders from Ashikaga Yoshimitsu. The temple is home to many Important Cultural Properties of Japan and is famous for the expansive Japanese rock garden that stretches between the pathways tying the temple halls together. The straight road approaching the temple is known for its beautiful autumn colors and is relatively quiet in comparison to the rest of Arashiyama.
