The Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Story. Otagi Nenbutsuji isn't just a fun and absorbing place to wander; it has a fascinating story, too. The original temple was founded back in the 8th century, but it was the unlucky victim of floods and fires so moved to a safer location in 1922.. It doesn't appear in most of Kyoto's tourist guidebooks, but this Buddhist temple is quite noteworthy. Otago Nenbutsu-ji temple has something that sets it apart from the other 1,600 temples in the Japanese city. More accurately, it has over one thousand things that set it apart — the roughly 1,200 whimsical stone statues that symbolize Buddha's disciples that surround it.
