Temple founded by Emperor Saga in 841 and famous for being the place where Teika Fujiwara (1161-1240) prepared the anthology Hyakunin Isshu or Simple Poems by 100 poets. It takes its name from the two statues of Amida and Shaka that it houses. Shaka illuminates men in this world while Amida illuminates them in the other world. This temple has always been known for the beauty of the maple trees in autumn in its park and in the surrounding mountain (Kogura-yama), so much so that it has been nicknamed "the racecourse of autumn leaves".
