Joshokoji is a temple related to the imperial family, which was opened in the first year of Joji (1362) by Emperor Kogon and was devoted to successive emperors.
During the fall foliage season, the foliage planted in the garden and in various parts of the precincts shines in the green of the surrounding cedar grove, and you can see the contrast of vivid colors.
In addition, the view of the conservation area from the Sanryo Bridge over the Oigawa River (Katsura River) that flows in front of the temple gate has wonderful changes in the four seasons, and together with the gentle mountain scenery, it is suitable to be called Daiyuzan of the mountain number.
