- Kyoto Kyoutoshi Minami-ku Kujouchou 1
- This Buddhist temple is the only remaining structure built during the days of the ancient capital of Heian-kyo (the former name of the city of Kyoto) and officially named Kyo-o gokoku-ji Temple. The temple was registered as a World Heritage site in 1994. The temple’s numerous National Treasures are worthy of note, such as its Kondo Hall (Main Hall), Daishido Hall (Miei House), and five tier pagoda, which is 55 meters (187 feet) tall and is the tallest wooden structure in Japan. Some of the temple’s many other historic and cultural assets include the southern gate and lecture hall, both registered as Important Cultural Properties.

- Kyoto Prefecture Kyoto City Shimogyo-ku Horikawa Nagaya-machi Town Down
- The head temple of the Jodo Shinshu Hongwanji sect of Buddhism believed to have originally been built as the mausoleum of the priest Shinran Shonin in 1272. After repeated relocations including Osaka and Wakayama, the temple was moved to its current location in 1591 with a donation from Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1591. The Nishi Hongwanji Temple (officially Ryukokuzan Hongwanji Temple) is the site of numerous Azuchi-Momoyama period structures designated National Treasures, including the Goei-do hall, Amidado-hall, the Kitano Stage (Japan’s oldest Noh stage), and study. The study’s garden is a traditional dry landscape garden and is designated a Special Place of Scenic Beauty. In 1995, the entire grounds of the shrine were registered as part of the “Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto” World Heritage listing.

It was occasionally devastated by fire, and the current building is a reconstruction from the Meiji period. The gate outside Goeido, “Goeidomon,” is one of Kyoto’s three large gates.

子授けのご利益がある「よつぎ地蔵」があります。23年の京の冬の旅でお堂の中に入ってお参りできました。 徳川家康の側室、阿茶局が開基、特別拝観では本堂と書院の内部、家康、秀忠、阿茶の肖像画、丸山応挙の掛け軸、写真撮影がすべて可能でした。 地元の人たちの信仰に根差し、生活の一部にになっている、暖かみのあるお寺でした。

粟嶋明神を祀っているそうですが、ここに来て初めて粟嶋明神という神仏を知りました。古来から女性の守護神になるそうで与謝蕪村も娘の病気回復を祈願に訪れました。境内にはその与謝蕪村の石碑も有ります。人形供養のお寺らしく、供養された人形がガラスケースの中に飾られています。

五条富小路にある浄土宗のお寺。山門の内側に駐車場があり、そのまた奥に門があるという面白い配置になっている。源融（源氏物語のモデル）の塩釜の第のあった場所という。八文字屋本を刊行した八文字屋自笑の墓もあるが、特に観光寺院ではない。

街中の寺院としては上位と思います。清掃も行き届いていて、堂塔も綺麗です。浄土宗寺院で、正式名は光勝山空也寺、１０００年以上も前に空也上人が現在地のかなり西に創建したと伝わる寺院です。当初は天台宗。本尊は阿弥陀三尊、本堂には空也上人の像が安置されているそうです。事前に電話で予約しておくと堂宇内も拝観させてもらえます。現在の本堂は平成１２年に再建されたごく新しいものです。ここの空也像は文化指定とかは受...

Kyoto Areas
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.
