Observatory at Jojakkoji Temple
Jojakkoji Temple is built along Mount Ogura, and a walk up the temple grounds leads to an observatory overlooking Sagano and the city of Kyoto.
The view from the observatory is worth a visit.
Jojakkoji Temple is located a short distance from Arashiyama Station, which is very crowded, and there are relatively few tourists except during the season of autumn leaves.
This makes Jojakkoji Temple an attractive place to visit for its calm atmosphere.
