Map & Spot
Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine is the headquarters of the
30,000 Inari-jinja Shrines located throughout Japan and
is commonly known as the "Inari". Said to have been
built in 711 AD, the vermilion tunnel of the torii
"Senbon Torii" is famous. The shrine is dedicated to
prayers for prosperous business and gratitude and is
said to have around 10,000 torii gates. The fox is
considered a messenger to the god at Fushimi
Inari-taisha Shrine.
It is possible to visit the shrine during the day and
night, but you can purchase amulets from 7: 00 to 18:
00, and pray from 8: 30 to 16: 30. Since Fushimi Inari
Taisha Shrine is spread all over Mt. Inari, you need to
watch your step when visiting the shrine after
sunset.
Kinkaku-ji Temple is officially called Rokuon-ji Temple
and its Golden Shining Shariden "Kinkaku" is a true
symbol of Kyoto while also being a designated World
Cultural Heritage Site. There is a circuit style garden
within the temple and the Kinkaku in Kyoko-ike Pond
(Kyokochi) is the perfect photo spot.
The Kinkaku is a hogyo-zukuri three-story palace. It was
burned by arson in 1950 and the current one was rebuilt
in 1955. Of the three floors, one is built in
Shinden-zukuri style (architecture representative of a
noblemans residence in the Heian period), the second is
in Buke-zukuri style (architecture representative of a
samurai family), and the third is in Zen style
(architecture representative of a Zen temple). The
second and third outer layers are covered with gold
leaf. The afternoon provides the best viewing time when
the sun is in the south.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple, which attracts more than 3 million
visitors a year, is considered the most famous temple in
the ancient capital of Kyoto.
The view from Kiyomizu-dera Temple is simply superb. You
can enjoy a panoramic view of the ancient capital of
Kyoto and scenery that changes its expression throughout
the four seasons. The night view is also wonderful, so
it is recommended to visit during evening times too. The
special night visit schedule and time are changed every
year, so please check in advance before visiting.
Of the global World Heritage Sites, 17 of them are located in Kyoto Prefecture, such as Kinkaku-ji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple, Byoto-in Temple, Nijo-jo Castle, Kamigamo-jinja Shrine, etc. Kyoto was the imperial capital of Japan until the middle of the 19th century. Acting as the center of Japanese culture for more than 1,000 years, Kyoto illustrates the development of Japanese architecture and the art of Japanese gardens.
The best sightseeing spot in Arashiyama is Takemori,
where you can enjoy the bamboo forest in a rickshaw, and
in the evenings of December, you can see the night light
shows.
You can enter directly from Tenryu-ji Temple or from
Torokko Arashiyama Station side. If you walk down the
400-meter long Takemori street along the way you will
come across the historic Nonomiya-jinja Shrine, where
you can meet the many visitors who come to pray.
If you walk through the Takemori forest, you can see the
historical Togetsukyo Bridge.
Sanjusangendo is famous for its 1000 statues of Senju
Kannon, the goddess of mercy. It is officially named
Rengeo-in Temple and is managed by Myoho-in Temple of
the Tendai sect. The 33 bay hall is adjoint to the main
hall.
The name comes from the fact that there are 33 hashirama
in the inner sanctuary of the main hall that spans 120
meters from north to south. The name "33" is also
derived from Kannon Bosatsus transformation into 33
incarnations.
