The Enryaku-ji temple complex on Mt Hiei is a few miles to the NE of Kyoto, right on the border between Yamashiro and Omi. Other major warrior monk centres include the Onjo-ji (or Miidera) temple just to the east of Kyoto in Omi and the Nara temple complex of Todai-ji and Kofuku-ji about 20 miles south of Kyoto in Yamato province.

There were other, lesser warrior monk centres (Kumano, Kurama-dera, Horyu-ji etc)but they all tended to be concentrated in the 'home provinces' near the old capital.
