Reikanji Temple
This temple is in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City. Built in 1654, it is of the Nanzenji branch of the Rinzai Sect of Buddhism. Housing over 200 goshoningyo, (palace dolls), and other treasures, its collection rivals that of the imperial household. There is a Japanese style pond garden on the premises where visitors enjoy the camellias and autumn foliage. During most of the year the temple is not open to the public, but in the spring and autumn peak viewing seasons, it is opened for a special period. Photo: special spring and autumn viewing times.
