Japanese Here


 Gansenji is a small temple located in the Kamo Town, Kyoto. This temple is tucked away amongst the mountains and trees. It is a really quiet place where you can ffind the various stonebuddhist statute carvings scattered on the temple grounds. Also for a great view, follow the path up the hill found besides the pagoda and you will be rewarded with a great view.
There are some famous Clay Bells modeling after an ogre, and you can find carved wooden figures as the parts of 3-storied Pagoda.
