    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...

    A Shinto shrine in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City known as Katayoke no taisha (the Direction Warding Shrine).

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Fushimi-ku Higashiyanagichou 511
    "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. The main temple building enshrines a statue of Benzaiten, the temple is believed to grant worshippers aid in improving various performing arts abilities. The temple grounds are a renowned destination for cherry blossom viewing and in late March a variety of weeping cherries called the ""ito-zakura"" comes into bloom, making these the earliest flowering weeping cherries in Kyoto. The temple is also famous for its coin sized, shellfish-shaped amulets which are said to bring good luck."

    Everyone, you should never go to worship at this temple in Kyoto. The old mans priest here shouts out loud discriminatory and insulting terms when he doesnt like the people who visit the temple...

    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...

    This temple from 1137 built in Higashi-dono (the east palace) of Toba Rikyu which became the stage of gorgeous aristocratic culture. As its name refers, it is a temple with Amida Sanson as the principal images in order to seek Buddhist paradise..

    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。

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.
