About 5 minutes walk from Rokujizo station. Founded as a Jingmeiji Temple at the foot of Mt. Kobata (Momoyama Hills) (year of foundation unknown). A temple of the Jodo sect. The main hall is tiled with wooden roofs. In the Kannon Do hall standing at the side of sanmon gate, there are standing statues of sho Kannon bosatsu (cultural property designated by Uji city) and bishamonten standing statues (tangible cultural properties designated by Kyoto Prefecture).
A temple close to JR Rokujizo Station. According to the explanation board, it seems that it has a cultural property designated by Uji City, but the interior is not open to the public. It is not a tourist temple.
To that extent, go to "Shokakuin"! It is located south of JR Rokujizo. Excuse me, but the location is not along the Uji River. The head temple is Chion-in and is a temple of the Jodo sect. I couldn't go inside, but it seems that Buddha statues from the Heian and Kamakura periods are enshrined. There was an explanation with a photo at the top of the stairs.
