    地下鉄でもバスです行けます。 周辺は茶道にゆかりのある場所のようで落着いた・・・静謐な風情を感じる町並みです。 バス停も地下鉄の駅からも直ぐではないので、徒歩圏内ですがちょっと迷いました。 日蓮宗の寺院で塔がある大きな寺院です。 小説「等伯」の長谷川等伯ゆかりのお寺で、ここには彼の作品も展示されていました。

    Shakuzoji, also known as Kuginukijizo, is said to have been built in 819 by Kobo Daishi. The Jizo main object of worship is said to have been carved from a stone brought back by Kobo Daishi from the Tang Dynasty. As it removes anguish it is known as “Kunuki Jizo” (pain removing Jizo) but through mispronunciation the temple became known as Kuginuki Jizo. The main temple building is full of votive pictures of a nail and pincers intertwined attached by those who were suffering and became free through prayer.

    This Zen temple in Kamigyo Ward, Kyoto City honors deities like the bodhisattva Kannon. Also known as The Doll Temple, it houses an array of dolls, including those of the Emperor Komei. Usually it's not open to the public, however there's a doll exhibition every spring and autumn when visitors pour in.

    It is a Monzeki temple (a temple related to the imperial family), which is located at Horikawa Teranouchi. The entrance gate is very imposing, but on the day I was there it was not open to public.

    Kyoto-shi, Kyoto Kamigyo-ku Imadegawa communication The seven Matsugami Lumpur
    A Shingon Chisan Buddhist temple located in Kamigyo-ku, Kyoto City. The temple was founded in 1221 by the priest Giku and is also called Senbonshaka-do (the Thousand Buddha Temple). The main hall has escaped numerous wars and fires and looks as it did when it was first built. It is the oldest structure in Kyoto City and is designated a National Treasure. The grounds are home to Okame-zuka, the Tomb of Okame, master carpenter’s wife, and the temple attracts an unending stream of worshipers from around the nation due to its resulting association with aiding in finding marriage, marital happiness, and having children. In the Kamakura period (1185–1333), a monk cut Sanskrit characters into a daikon (radish) to pray for good health; today, the temple’s daikon-offering ceremony held in December is a key winter event in Kyoto.

    大報恩寺の境内に「おかめ塚」がありました。 あのふくよかな笑顔の「おかめ」は実在した人だったんですね。「おかめ」は、本堂建築で棟梁を務めた大工「長井飛騨守高次」の奥さんでした。おかめさんは、夫の間違えを助言して窮地を救ったんですが、上棟式を迎える前に自害したそうです。おかめ塚には、そのおかめさんの像もありましたよ。

    The head temple of the Hokkeshu sect Shinmonryu school of Buddhism which first opened in 1488. It's also called the Unburnable Temple as the main hall and founder's hall escaped disaster as the Nishijin area twice burned down around it. With sakura cherry blossoms in the spring, crape myrtle in the summer, changing autumn colors in the fall, and the snow-covered temple grounds in the winter, the temple is a popular location for those looking to take a stroll and take in the seasonal scenery. The grounds are home to the Chiyonoi Well, one of the Nishijin area's five famous wells, as well as the Yonakidome Pine Tree whose needles or bark are said to stop babies night-crying if placed under their pillows.

    近くに来て正面に行きましたが改修工事をしていました。かなり大規模な様です。沢山の人達が同じように現場をうろうろとしていました。数年かかると。

    境内一杯のだるまさん！この寺は臨済宗妙心寺派に属し、通称名「達磨寺」として知られています。１７２７年の開創、この世界では比較的新しい歴史の寺院です。達磨堂には８０００を超える達磨さんが飾られている。寺院情報はネット上でも公開されており略。ここは納経印も申出後に納経帳に記して頂ける、最近は書置きの値打ちの無い納経印が多い中では丁寧で真面目な寺院と云える。

    この地域としては大きな部類に入る寺院です。本門佛立宗の大本山で本尊は「十界大曼荼羅」、創建後、約７００年が経過している寺院です。従って、都の中では然程の古寺と云う訳ではありません。寺院規模に比較して文化財が木造日蓮坐像の１点のみが重文指定されている程度で国の次元の文化財指定は他にはないみたいです。実際に参拝すると分かるのですが、堂塔はかなり立派な、大規模な建物が多い。この寺院が本門佛立宗の大本山と...

    ここは「内野」と称する「京の七野」の一つです。昔の平安京の大内裏があったと伝わる場所です。門前の出水通とは「良質な湧水」が出たことに由来します。七番町は秀吉が築いた聚楽第が近くにあり周辺に大名や幕下の組屋敷が配置されたことに始まり、色々な宗派の寺院が点在する寺町地域です。

    住宅街の一角に立つ寺院でした。山門の両脇には「高野山京都別院」・「高野山真言宗 京都宗務出張所」と大きな表札が2つ掲げられていました。表札の大きさに比べ境内は狭く、山門を潜って右手に本堂が配されていました。 猶、山門手前には「藏林寺」と刻まれた寺号碑が立ち、元々の名称なのでしょうか。

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.
