  • Three Stone Buddhas in the Woods
    Travel / Tourism
    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.

Kyoto Areas

around-area-map

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.
