[Announcement]
During the autumn foliage event period (November 20th to December 6th), we will be accepting only one group per time slot for a paid special Goma prayer service at 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM.
If you wish to participate, please make a reservation via the "World Heritage Kyoto Daigoji Temple" Special Goma Prayer service located at the bottom of this plan.

In the season of vibrant autumn foliage, a special collaboration between "World Heritage Kyoto Daigoji Temple" and "Koyasan Ekoin Temple" has been realized.
