One of the eight great head temples of the Jōdo school and one of the four honzan of Kyoto; to everyone it is simply the Jōkein. It is the twenty-third of Hōnen's twenty-five sacred sites. The name means ‘place where you practise in purity, like the lotus flower that blooms in the Pure Land’.
ℹ️ Grounds always open. The themed items are no longer available.

It is not a setting: the temple was one of the six places of worship (three in Tokyo, three in Kyoto) in the official collaboration ‘わたしの幸せな良縁結び’, from 16 November to 15 December 2023, with omamori, goshuinchō and goshuin dedicated to Miyo and Kiyoka. The initiative has ended, and the omamori and goshuin were never sold online.
