Famous for late-blooming cherry blossom in Kyoto

Founded in AD 888. The temple of the chief abbot is also known as the Omuro Imperial Palace. Within the spacious temple precinct, you will find the Important Cultural Property, the Five-Storied Pagoda and the Nio-mon gate as well as the Golden Hall, a National Treasure. In the Reihokan Hall, the seated Aizenmyoo statues and many more are exhibited. The two-meter tall Omuro-zakura trees outside the Temple buildings known for late-blooming also shouldn’t be missed.
