Itinerary
Sanjyusangendo Temple
Sanjusangendo (Rengeo-in) Temple was originally built by Taira no Kiyamori for retired emperor Go-Shirakawa in 1164 and dedicated to the Bodhisattva Kannon. The temple features a huge hall containing 1,001 figures of Kannon carved in the 12th and 13th centuries.
Yasaka Pagoda and Koushindou
Yasaka Kōshin-dō (八坂庚申堂), or in its full name Daikoku-san Kongō-ji Kōshin-dō (大黒山金剛寺庚申堂) is a small temple located in Higashiyama, Kyoto, Japan. The temple can be found in the vicinity of Kiyomizu-dera.
The temple is dedicated to Kōshin-san (庚申さん) a nickname of its main worship object Shōmen Kongō (青面金剛), a blue, guardian warrior and to the “three wise monkeys”. They represent the Kōshin faith.
In Kōshin belief, Kōshin-san is thought to help all those who strive in their livings, with all their efforts to be good persons. He is also thought to punish the bad.
Kiyomizu Temple
Kiyomizu-dera Temple offered a special tour around the temple guided by an English-speaking priest for international visitors. We planned this as a way to give visitors an even deeper understanding of Kiyomizu by sharing a variety of traditional stories in connection with many famous, historic spots and the reflections of Kannon’s merciful heart throughout the grounds. We are confident that the tour participants enjoyed experiencing this profound Kannon Reijo, a holy place with over 1200-year-long history. We will announce future tour details as soon as they are ready.
Ninenzaka and Sannenzaka Shopping Area
Ninen-zaka Slope and Sannen-zaka Slope are iconic streets of Kyoto City, which represent Japan’s good old days. Once you get there, you can’t help taking pictures of this nostalgic and dreamy scenery.
These two slopes are approach to the famous Kiyomizudera Temple (清水寺) and also one of the main attraction of the city for the beautiful scenery.
