仁和寺Kyoto's Ninnaji Temple is located on the northwestern edge of the city.
It was founded in the early part of the ninth century.
The temple was originally a summer home for one of the early emperors.
In those days, deadly plagues were a common feature of Kyoto's torrid summer.
Ninnaji Temple, in Omuro, is roughly 5-7 kilometers from the Imperial Palace, or Gosho.
Part of the temple is a World Heritage Site.
