NINNAJI TEMPLE

かつては御室御所と呼ばれ、宇多天皇開墓の８８８年以来、千年にわたって法親王が住持となった格式高い寺。真言宗御室派の総本山で、桃山時代の御所・紫寝殿を移した金堂などがある。御室桜は１Mくらいの高さで名高い。

Construction of this temple was started by Emperor Koko and completed by his successor, Emperor Uda. Emperor uda abdicated the throne to vecome head priest of Ninnani Temple, which had been called the Old Imperial Palace of Omuro until that time. The buildings were all destroyed by fire in 1467, but were rebuilt using donations from the Kyoto Imperial Palace and funds from the Tokugawas, effective rulers at the time . Some of those buildings still remain. These include the Kondo Hall, Sanmon Gate, Meido Hall, and five-storied pagoda. These are all designated either National Treasures or Important Cultural Properties. The headquarters of the nationally known Omuro school of Flower Arrangement are on the grounds. The low branched, squat Omuro cherry trees surrounded by pine trees near the five storied pagoda are quite famous, and have been admired for hundreds of years.
