Eiko-ji Temple (永興寺) is a serene Soto Zen Buddhist temple located in Yamashina Ward, Kyoto. Situated in a quiet residential area, it offers a peaceful retreat for meditation and reflection.

Eiko-ji is conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from Misasagi Station on the Kyoto City Subway Tozai Line, making it easily accessible for visitors. The surrounding area includes the scenic Yamashina Canal, a lovely spot for cherry blossom viewing in spring, adding to the tranquil ambiance of the temple's vicinity.
