JISSO-IN IMPERIAL GARDEN
Set near Kyoto’s northern foothills is the ancient imperial temple and garden of Jisso-in. The temple was moved to this northern suburb of Iwakura in the 15th century. The present structure, built in 1709, is the oldest of its kind in Japan.
Known for its cool summers and frigid winters, Iwakura remained a detached and overlooked rural area until a new subway line linked it to the city in the 1990s. Today, much new housing has brought younger families into the agricultural community, still crisscrossed with traditional farmhouses and vegetable patches.
Jisso-in retains its elegant isolation and draws relatively few visitors, except in November when the maples shading the temple’s entire north side transform the scene into shades of glorious crimson. The sharp decline in night temperatures promotes an abundance of brilliant autumn foliage.
