Genko-an Temple is also near Koetsu-ji Temple, and the maples in the garden are wonderful. There is a round "Satori no mado, or window of realization" and a square “window of confusion” in the main hall and the will of Buddha is embedded in each. In addition, the ceiling of the main hall of the Buddhist temple are said to be the remains of an ancient structure of Fushimi Castle and there is a chiten-jo or blooded ceiling conveying the tragedy of the fall of Fushimi Castle.
