Mido Yoganji Temple
A temple renowned for its splendid seasonal views visible from the Imperial Hall
Established in 1484 (Bunmei 16) by Zenchin Shonin, a senior disciple of Rennyo Shonin of Honganji (and head priest of Goshakuji, the head temple of the Shinnyo-shu Izumoji sect), the temple name "Yoganji" was bestowed by Rennyo Shonin himself.
Known as "Godo Yoganji," this major temple of Jodo Shinshu preserves numerous cultural assets. Its structures were built to receive the head priest (monju) of the Honganji sect.
The "Goten Garden," viewable from the "Goten Room," is beautiful and allows visitors to enjoy the seasonal charm throughout the year.
