Ninna-ji Temple

Ninna-ji was begun at the wish of Emperor Koko and completed in 888 by Emperor Uda, who later became its first head priest; for centuries members of the imperial family served as its abbots. Most of the temple burned in the Onin War, and it was rebuilt by 1646 with buildings given from the Imperial Palace, including the hall that is now the Kondo. It is the head temple of the Omuro school of Shingon Buddhism and a World Heritage Site, known for its late-blooming Omuro cherry trees.
