Koetsu-ji Temple is a quiet temple located in Takagamine, Kita Ward, Kyoto City. It was given to Hon’ami Koetsu by Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, and his family moved there,which led to the development of an arts village in the area. After Koetsu’s death, Koetsu-ji Temple was founded in this place associated with him. The stone-paved entrance to the temple is very picturesque.
