Hoju-ji (宝寿寺) is a small local temple in the southern part of the Yamashina valley (or in fact in northern Uji city, which is about the same). Hoju-ji is also the name of a another temple in Kyoto (very similar pronounciation but different kanji). Worse, there's a temple with the exact same name in Ehime prefecture. A bit like finding a St. Peter church in Europe :) Nearby: Shōdensansō 松殿山荘 (620m), Hinotanjō-in 日野誕生院 (790m) External links: 京都風光, Satellite view, Map Keywords: Japan, 日本, Japon, Kyoto, 京都, Yamashina, 宝寿寺, Hoju-ji, temple, 寺院, 仏閣 Statistics: id 402, 3 photos. |
