Shoren-in Temple is a Buddhist temple in the Higashiyama district of Kyoto. It is characterised by the ancient camphor trees on both sides of its front gate. These trees are now over 700 years old.
Shoren-in was formerly the temple of an imperial abbot. It was used as a temporary imperial palace following the Great Kyoto Fire of 1788. The temple has beautifully landscaped grounds with ponds and moss-covered areas shaded by camphor trees.
