Day 5 – Kyoto Arashiyma District – Hōgon-in Temple and Kōgen-ji Temple

After visiting Tenryū-ji Temple, I visited two sub-temples in the area.  There were Hōgon-in Temple and Kōgen-ji Temple. 

Hōgon-in was established in 1461.  The interior of the temple is filled with beautiful sliding panels.  I am unable to post pictures as photography was not allowed inside.  Please visit here to see more: https://hogonin.jp/en/

But the grounds were beautiful with fall colors.

Kōgen-ji Temple

This temple was built in 1429.  The interior of the temple has beautiful paintings of Japanese fans.  https://kogenji.jp/en/
