Reikanji - there are more than 30 types of camellias on the grounds of Reikan-ji, designated as a natural monument of Kyoto City - also known as the “camellia temple”. It was founded in 1654 by Emperor Gomizunoo known for the gardens such as Shugakuin Rikyu, with his own daughter, Princess Munezumi, as the founder. Since then, five princesses and grandchildren of the imperial family have entered the temple and served as chief priests. The pond garden in front of the study makes use of the slopes of the Higashiyama mountain range and Mt. Daimonji using gardening techniques from the Edo period.
