Ninnaji Temple

[Ninnaji Temple] has a deep connection with the Imperial Family

平安時代前期の888(仁和4)年に第59代宇多天皇によって創建。宇多天皇は譲位後に出家、同寺に住したことから「御室御所」とも称された。慶応期まで皇族が住職を務めるなど皇室との縁が深い。

The temple grounds are lined with buildings erected in the Edo period (1603-1868), including the five-story pagoda and Nioimon gate. The temple is famous for Omuro-zakura, late-blooming cherry blossoms that are at their best from early to mid-April, and the autumn leaves that decorate the majestic five-story pagoda and other structures are exceptionally beautiful. In 1994, the area was registered as a World Heritage site.
