In addition, the "Ujibashi Broken Monument", which describes the origin of Ujibashi, is left in the precincts. There are buildings such as houses in the vicinity, but at that time I think I could see the Uji River and Byodo-in Temple below.

　There are many temples in Kyoto with various common names, and this temple is one of them. The name of yosei in temple was based on the fact that a large-scale yoseikai was held when Uji Bashi bridge was completed, but after that, it was called the common name of Hashi Ji Temple after the temple managed Uji Bashi bridge. It is a temple located on the east bank of the Uji River from Uji Bridge for a while, and the precincts are well maintained. It would be a very beautiful temple when there are flowers.
