Kyoto Kyoutoshi Fushimi-ku Minamihamachou 263

This is an inn where Shimazu Hisamitsu tried to purge the Satsuma shishi, who were advocates in the Satsuma clan of the return to imperial rule, during the latter years of the Edo period (the Teradaya Incident). It was learned that the hero of Tosa, Sakamoto Ryoma, visited this inn regularly, and Teradaya became the scene of a plot to assassinate Ryoma, who just barely managed to escape thanks to the quick-wittedness of his lover, Oryo. Although the building was destroyed by fire during the battle of Toba-Fushimi, it was reconstructed after that and is a facility that offers accommodation as well.

Toba-Fushimi Battle was the end of a series of epoch-making struggles in Kyoto. The struggles had started with Terada-ya Inn incident. Terada-ya was a port-town inn along Goh-kawa Canal in Fushimi...

Kyoto Kyoutoshi Fushimi-ku Minamihamachou 247

Fushimi, famed since ancient times as one of Japan’s leading drinking spots, also became the site of a launch for boats traveling to Osaka in the Edo period. The Jikkoku bune and Sanjikkoku bune are pleasure boats which bring back the glory days of the port town of Fushimi. The Jikkoku bune leaves from just south of the Gekkeikan Okura Sake Museum, the Sanjikkoku bune from south of Teradaya. The Jikkoku bune leaves every 20 minutes, the Sanjikkoku bune every hour.

Beautiful area but don’t waste your time for the boat ride. People with reservations are taken first so that means you can stand in line for 2-3 hours. We also could not find anywhere online to make...

"A Buddhist temple located a three-minute walk from the ""Chushojima"" municipal bus station. Known as the ""Shima no Benten-san,"" the temple was established in 1699 by Takebe Masanoki.

Kyoto Kyoutoshi Fushimi-ku Takajouchou 4

This Toji Shingon Buddhist temple is just a 10-minute walk from the Tambabashi station. The feudal lord Toyotomi Hideyoshi was an adherent of this temple, formerly called the Chofukuji Temple. Through the demise of Shimazu Iehisa in 1615, the Lord of the Satsuma clan, this temple became a site of prayer and because the principal guardian deity of Shimazu Yoshihiro emanates from Daikokuten, the name was changed to Daikokuji Temple. In addition to visiting the standing shokannon, which is said to have been placed here by the monk Kukai, and the shusse daikokuten, the principal deities, one can also view the room which was used by Saigo Takamori in the days of Tokugawa shogunate, and the graves of the nine samurai martyred in the Teradaya massacre. The water flowing out of the well within the temple confines is said to have wonder-working powers and bring monetary fortune.

Chofuku-ji Temple was said to have been founded either by Kukai (774-835) or Shinnyo (799-865) as a Shingon Sect temple. In 1615, Shimazu Yoshihiro (1535-1619), the lord of the Satsuma Domain...

Kyoto Kyoto-shi Fushimi-ku Sumizomecho 741

This temple, built in 874 and known as the Sakura Temple, is about three minutes' walk from Sumizome Station. There is a legend that a Heian period famed poet, Kamutsukeno Mineo wrote a poem in honor of the death of Fujiwara no Mototsune, and then a pale gray cherry blossom bloomed here. From this episode, it is said that the official temple name Sumizomezakura or ink-stained cherry blossom was given. Straight in from the temple gate there are about 10 cherry trees, and in peak season in April, this small precinct is completely filled with cherry blossoms. Even today, it has a reputation as a hidden cherry blossom spot, and after the lovely Yoshino cherry trees fully bloomed, the somewhat lonely looking white Sumizomezakura cherry blossoms become in full bloom.

ちょうど桜が満開になった2日後に訪れたのでお庭の綺麗な桜を見ることが出来ました。わざわざ行くほどの大きなお寺ではありませんが、伏見散策の帰りにふらっと寄るには良い素敵なお寺です。

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.
