    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...

    Kyoto Yawatashi Yawata Ominaeshi 43-1
    This garden art museum is associated with Shokado Shojo, who was the priest of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine in Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture in the beginning of the Edo period (1603-1868). Works tied to Shojo are on display. In addition, the Shokado Garden is where you can enjoy cultural assets that are national historical sites and scenic spots such as Soan Shokado and Izumi-bo Shoin along with the scenery of the four seasons. Also known as the birthplace of the Shokado Bento lunch box, you can eat it while watching the garden from Kyoto Kitcho Shokado Store on site.

    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 Kusegunkumiyamachou Tai Shinarami 128
    This is a Coca Cola West factory in Kumiyama-cho, Kuse-gun, Kyoto Prefecture. Each day they hold a free to reserve Magical Factory Tour. On the tour one can see the canned coffee production line (Georgia) and enjoy learning about the history and production process behind Coca Cola. It takes around 90 minutes to see everything. There is also a free drink corner and a corner selling original goods.

    海外からの学生団体を案内しました。無料ですし、大型バスも駐車できるので、事前に予約をお願いして訪問。外国語の対応はナシなので、同行者が通訳しながら進みました。工場見学としては一般的なものですが、コカコーラブランドは海外の若者にも人気のようで、出口のショップでノベルティ商品を買う姿も多く見られました。個人グループでも団体でもとりあえず無料なので、良いと思います。

    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.

    京都の有名仏閣の混雑を避けて、紅葉を魅入るもみじ寺はこころに染み入る紅で身体を包んでくれる。観光用でない自然そのままの紅葉は他府県の方々にもぜひおすすめします。

    Kyoto Yawata-shi Yawatayoshinogaito 33
    This temple is about ten minutes' walk from Yawatashi Station on the Keihan main line, and is also known as Rakugaki-dera (graffiti temple). Directly facing the sanmon main gate is the Daikoku-do hall, also called Rakugaki-do because they say that if you write your prayer on the white walls, it will be answered. 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 Doi 44
    "A Shinto shrine located a five-minute walk from Keihan Electric Railway Yawatashi Station. The shrine has three ""main"" shrine buildings. The center one is dedicated to Nigihayahi-no-Mikoto; the left one is dedicated to Yakusojin, Konpira, and Hakuryujin; and the right one is dedicated to all those who have participated in and those who died due to aerial bombing. The shrine was established in 1915 by aircraft designer Chuhachi Ninomiya to pray for the peace of those who died due to aviation, and pray for aerial safety and the development of the aerial industry. The shrine's priests also travel to hold purification ceremonies for newly built aircraft and helicopters, and ceremonies to give thanks to aircraft which have been destroyed or will no longer be used."

    Kyoto Yawatashi Kouduya Miyamaekawabata
    Built in 1953 (Showa 28), the Nagarekibashi is one of the longest wooden bridges in Japan, measuring 356.5 m. Its official name is Kamitsuya Bridge, and it is characterized by its design that allows it to be washed away even when water levels rise due to typhoons or heavy rain. This simple structure is reminiscent of the original Japanese landscape and has been the filming location for many movies and period dramas.

    車で行かないと不便です。周囲に目印になる建物がないのでナビだとピンポイントで表示されませんが、近くまで来ると案内看板が立ってますし、いくつもビニールハウスが並んでいるのですぐに見つけられます。完全予約制なので、HPから予約が必要です。予約開始になると土日はすぐに満員になってしまいますが、1週間くらい前になると追加で何名か募集しているようなので、小まめにチェックしたらいいと思います。最大1日40〜5...

    JR城陽駅から徒歩20分位、なだらかな坂が続きますので結構疲れます。一の鳥居がJR線を挟んで反対側に有るので、往時は大変広かったと想像できます。奈良時代にはすでに存在していたと考えられる歴史ある神社、現在でも参拝者が多いようです。

    三十六歌仙の一人、猿丸大夫を祀る神社。猿丸大夫との関係性は不明ながら、瘤取り・癌封じのご利益があるとされる。猿丸大夫の詠歌に因んでか多くの紅葉が植樹されており、紅葉の時期には名所になるであろうことが想像される。表参道は傾斜の急な石段なので、雨天時等は素直に裏参道から行った方が正解かもしれない。 毎月十三日は臨時バス便があるらしいが、それ以外の日はアクセスがかなり悪く、車がベスト。禅定寺から歩ける距...

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.
