Joju-ji Temple is located in Kyoto City’s Nishikyo Ward, an area home to a cluster of temples—including Jizo-in (famous as the “Bamboo Temple”), Koke-dera (Moss Temple), and Suzumushi-dera.
Within the temple grounds, visitors can view *kikkōchiku* (tortoiseshell bamboo), a rare variety of bamboo unique to Kyoto.
It is a place where you can enjoy a quiet, peaceful moment.
