自転車で高台寺へKodaiji Temple is part of the Rinzai school of Zen Buddhism and located atop a bluff in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto
It was founded in 1606 by Nene, the widow of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The temple itself is a short walk up from Nene no Michi (The Path of Nene), a fabulous street in east Kyoto.
It has quite a few objects listed as Important Cultural Assets. The Main Gate and the Spirit Hall, which are noted for their use of maki-e, are two examples.
Kodaiji Temple also affords a view of central Kyoto.
