寺禅南東洛


NANJENJI

Nanjenji was a palace of Kameyama Tenno about 1260 after Christ, after he became a believer of the Buddhist religion so at last he dedicated the building to the idole as a temple of Buddhist; and so it remains still.

It has a very fine garden and the residence of the templekeeper as you see on the engraving is very handsome indeed.

Remarkable is as a large Toro or stone lantern near the gate.

lts distance is 14 Chios from Sanjio.
