[Jojakko-ji Temple]
Usually deserted, except in the fall foliage season, Jojakko-ji Temple is a fine spot to sit and gather your thoughts while exploring Arashiyama. It’s got a fine little pagoda and is surrounded by soothing greenery. Like nearby Nison-in Temple, it’s not a must-see, but it’s good for those of a solitary mindset.
