    Kyoto Kidugawashi Kamochounishio Futaba 40
    This temple of the Shingon Risshu sect is located in Kamo Town, Kizugawa City, Kyoto. It is known as “Kutai-ji” (Nine-body Temple) due to the nine Amitabha Tathagata statues kept in the main hall. The garden, which represents the world of paradise, is a Jodo-style garden with Yakushi to the east, Amida to the west, and a pond in the center. The main hall has clay tiles laid laterally, and the interior pagoda houses a statue of Bhaisajyaguru. Both have been designated National Treasures. The standing statue of Kisshoten is famous as a Buddhist statue rarely shown to the public, and it is only displayed once each in spring, fall, and on New Year’s Day.

    There is a bus no.112 going to this temple from JR Nara, only spending half hour, quite convenient. Suggest to buy one day bus pass, only ¥500 each. Moreover, the wooden pass is cute. The temple is...

    Kyoto Kidugawashi Kamochouiwafune Kaminomon 43
    This temple of the Shingon Risshu sect is located in Kamo Town, Kizugawa City, Kyoto. It is famous for its hydrangeas, which has earned it the nickname “Hydrangea Temple.” It is not clear when it was constructed, but it is said it was founded when high priest Gyoki was instructed by Emperor Shomu to build a hall dedicated to Amitabha in the southern region of Narukawa. You’ll find three-storied pagodas from the Muromachi period, a statue of Amitabha Tathagata, and other Important Cultural Properties. The temple grounds are filled with seasonal blooms, including cherry blossoms, camellias, water lilies, and various fall foliage, and approximately 5,000 hydrangeas blossom during the rainy season, the best time to view them.

    If you visit Joruriji temple, must go to this temple as well, just 7 minutes bus ride. Spare more time to travel around the village to see the Buddhas crafted on caves, it’s a walking route. But I...

    奈良県と京都府の境目に位置し、木津川市を流れる木津川畔の平野を一望できる海住山の中腹にある古刹です。 奈良時代の天平年間に、聖武天皇の勅願により、時の東大寺の僧正が開基した観音寺が起源と伝わっています。 その後焼失してしまい、鎌倉時代の初頭に、現境内地の海住山を観音様の浄土に因む補陀洛山に見立てて中興され、補陀洛山海住山寺として現在に至っています。 鎌倉時代に建立された国宝の五重塔や、国重文の文殊...

    笠置駅から歩いて小一時間くらいです。なんと言っても、磨崖弥勒如来像は圧巻。他の仏像を全て包摂していると言ってもいいくらいです。境内と言っていいのか、実質は笠置山ピクニックかも知れませんが。奇岩の数々には、圧倒されます。

    Kyoto Kyotanabe-shi Fugen Terashita Daimon 13
    This temple was founded by monk Gien on orders from Emperor Tenmu. Due to frequent fires over the years some 13 temple halls and 20 monks' living quarters were lost. Only the rebuilt main temple hall has survived to the present day. The surrounding mountains and the harmonious main temple hall and garden are beautiful and the spring cherry blossoms and rapeseed flowers as well as the changing fall colors will help soothe your heart.

    Kyoto Kizugawa-shi Kamocho Higashi Sho
    This stone statue of the Magaibutsu was carved in 1262 by Tachibana Yasunawa, and along with the Kubikirijizo (Higashio Amitabha Sekiganbutsu) is the oldest in Tono. The center of the boulder features the Jizobosatsu, with Amitabha Nyorai on the left, and the 11-faced Kannon on the right, creating a very unusual stone-buddha triptych. Legend says this was the honzon (principal object of worship) of the old Jodo-in sub-temple.

  • Kunikyu Palace Site (Yamashiro Kokubunji Temple Ruins)
    Travel / Tourism
    Kyoto Kizugawa-shi Kamocho Reihei
    This is the site of Kunikyo, once designated the capital of the country; along with the ruins of the ancient Yamashiro Kokubunji Buddhist temple. There are very few places in Japan where two important historical landmarks are located on the same site, and it has been designated a National Historic Site. The Yamashiro Kokubunji was a state-sponsored temple built on the site of Kunikyo, which served as the capital of the nation for around five years during the distant Tenpyo era, on the order of Emperor Shomu after its status as capital was downgraded; the Council Hall of the Kunikyu Palace was used as the main temple. The area around the site is known for flower viewing and boasts beautiful cherry blossoms in spring; and buckwheat flowers, red spider lilies, and common cosmos from late summer through fall.

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.
