About the event
Jingoji’s Daishido opens for a brief November viewing of its carved wooden image of Kukai, also known as Kobo Daishi. The special admission is additional to the ordinary precinct ticket. Set in the Takao hills, this is a purposeful temple visit with an uphill approach, rather than a quick stop in central Kyoto.
