    Designated as a national Natural Monument, the name comes from the fact that the trunk of the Japanese white pine on the grounds of the temple spreads left and right and looks like a dragon. While only two-three meters high, the approx. 600 year-old magnificent pine tree is over 37 meters wide. It was named Yuryu in 1857 by the former Minister of the Right, Kazan Ieatsu.

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
