Kyoto Yawatashi Yawata Takabou 30

Considered one of the greatest Hachiman shrines, Shinto shrines dedicated to Hachiman, in the country, this shrine was established in 859 when the deity of Usa Hachimangu in Kyushu was ceremonially divided and transferred here to protect an Imperial castle built in southwestern Heian-kyo (the former name of the city of Kyoto), considered an unlucky area due to the tenets of feng shui. Today, believers come to the shrine for protection from evil and calamity, and has come to be affectionately known as “Yawata no Hachiman-sama.” The Shrine’s vermillion-lacquered main building was rebuilt with donations from Tokugawa Iemitsu in the Edo period, and it, together with structures such as the inner shrine, outer shrine, two tier gate, are all registered as Important Cultural Property.

The main building is designated as a National Treasure a couple of years ago. This is the home of Hachiman shrines which spreads all over Japan. I bought a good luck charm years ago and it was so...

松花堂弁当の名前の由来となった庭園。今でも園内に料亭「吉兆」があって、予約をすれば松花堂弁当が食べられる。庭園は内園と外園に分かれているが、内園は2018年の地震で影響を受け、現在修復中で見学できない。それにしても修復に時間がかかり過ぎている気がする。内園の主な見所は、いくつかある茶室。そのほか美術館もある。

Kyoto Yawata-shi Yawatababa 88-1

This temple is connected to Yoshiko, the birth mother of the third Ashikaga shogun Yoshimitsu. It began in 1257 when a clerk for Iwashimizu Hachimangu, Zenpoji Miyakiyo, donated his own home to serve as priest's quarters. The main temple, built with materials from the former shrine building at Iwashimizu Hachimangu, and the Kouraimon front gate are registered Kyoto Prefecture cultural assets. Yoshimitsu's mother Yoshiko donated a number of maple trees, earning this temple the nickname Momiji-dera (maple leaf temple). There are still several hundred maple trees here, and the fresh green of spring and red leaves of fall make it a sightseeing spot in both seasons.

This temple is about ten minutes' walk from Yawatashi Station on the Keihan main line, and is also known as Rakugaki-dera (graffiti temple).

Stories tell that the building was built out of gratitude to the deity Daikokuten, with white walls so that the spirit could better see the prayers written on them. The walls are quickly packed with prayers and wishes, but every New Year's Day they are repainted while. Please be aware that visits are only open on Saturdays and Sundays.

らくがき寺と言う名前に惹かれて行きました。石清水八幡宮の前の安居橋を渡り300ｍちょっとで着きます。臨済宗妙心寺派の寺院のようですが、本当にらくがきができるそうです。とても興味深いのですが、残念ながらいつでも訪問できる場所じゃなかったみたいで、門が閉じられていて、外から中を覗いただけでした。見た感じ落書きが見えませんでしたが、後から調べたら大黒堂と言うお堂の内側の白壁に願いを書きこむこと...

Kyoto Yawatashi Yawata Ominaeshi 43-1

This Japanese restaurant is about a five minute walk from Oshiba-Shokado bus stop on the Kehan Bus. They offer dining in a glass lined room with a view of the Shokado Garden from airy table seating, or low tatami mat seating. The quiet, relaxing Japanese style private rooms are highly recommended for celebrations, memorials or religious events. The food is based around the chakaiseki style with multi-course meals of sashimi, hassun side dishes, grilled fish or meat, and pickles, but does not allow the flavors and aromas to mix. Instead, they serve cold and hot dishes together in well divided compartments as part of a Shokado Bento box.

松花堂弁当をいただきました。八寸は野菜の白和え、切り干し大根、栗、鯖寿司、海老。焼き物はぶり。野菜の煮物に、お造り（イカとブリ）でした。お吸い物は海老真薯。香の物とごはんが付きます。吉兆だけあって器はなかなかいいものを使っているなという印象。団体客が多いので、いつも箱がいっぱいといった感じで、少人数でも予約必須だと思います。

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.
