Rokkaku-dō

Shōhō-ji (頂法寺) is a Buddhist temple located in the Rokkaku-dori Higashinotoin Nishinido-mae-chō neighborhood of Nakagyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan. It belongs to the Tendai sect of Japanese Buddhism and its honzon is a hibutsu statue of Nyōirin Kannon. The statue is never displayed to the public and is not a designated cultural property, but by tradition it is a three-inch gilt-bronze image of Nyōirin Kannon that was donated by Taira no Tokuko in 1178. The temple's full name is Shiun-san Shōhō-ji (紫雲山 頂法寺); however, the temple is far more commonly known by the name of its hexagonal main hall, the Rokkaku-dō (六角堂). The temple is the 18th stop on the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage route.
