Shinnyo-dō 真如堂(真正極楽寺)
In November you pay twice: ¥500 for the garden, another ¥500 to enter the halls.
The full name is Shinshō-gokuraku-ji; the name in everyday use is Shinnyo-dō. It stands on the hill east of Kyoto, above the Jōdo-ji neighbourhood and north of the Kurodani. The main hall you see today is a reconstruction from the Edo period, that is, the centuries between 1603 and 1868, and is a national Important Cultural Property; next to it is a three-storey pagoda, visible from afar.
