Lonely Planet review for Kōzan-ji

Hidden amid a grove of towering ceder trees, this temple is the least accessible of the three temples in Takao. It’s famous for the chuju giga scroll in its collection, an ink-brush depiction of frolicking animals that is considered by many to be the precursor of today’s ubiquitous manga. The temple is reached by following the main road north from the Yamashiro Takao bus stop or, more conveniently, by getting off the JR bus at the Toga-no-O bus stop, which is right outside the temple.
