Eikan-do Pond Garden

Eikan-do is also known as Zenrin-ji - a major temple on the east of Kyoto. Eikan-do was founded in 853, at the beginning of the Heian period, by a priest called Shinjo. It is now part of the Jodo sect of Zen Buddhism. The temple consists in various buildings arranged around a central pond. Eikan-do is most attractive in autumn, where the maple trees of its front garden are brightly colored.
