Takiguchidera Temple
📍 KyotoTakiguchidera is the setting of the doomed love between Takiguchi Nyudo Tokiyori, a retainer of Taira no Shigemori, and Yokobue, lady-in-waiting to Kenreimon-in. Wooden figures of the two stand side by side in the main hall, and along the approach a stone inscribed with Yokobue's poem stands quietly. The area around the grounds is said to have held Ojo-in in the Heian period, which counted both Takiguchidera and Gioji among its sub-temples.
