Raigo-in Temple, Kyoto

A sub-temple of Enryakuji in Ohara, Raigo-in Temple belongs to the Tendai sect and was founded by the priest Ryonin as a centre for training monks in shomyo chanting. The main hall dates from the 16th century as most of the temple buildings were destroyed by a fire in 1426.

Raigo-in is located a little way up the path that leads from Sanzen-in Temple to the Silent Waterfall. CDs of Shomyo chanting are available at the temple office.
