MANSHU-IN
Temple built in 788, it was then moved and rebuilt in its current location in 1656, under the supervision of Prince Yoshihisa, brother of Toshihito Hachijō, architect of the imperial city Katsura. A similar architectural style can be seen there. Two buildings are located there, the Daisho-in, in which one can see a sculpture of Amida, and the Kojo-in, a priori forbidden to the public. The tea house seems to have been built by Enshū Kobori (1579-1647) because its style resembles that of Katsura. Visit to be coupled with that of Shugaku-in Rikyu.
