About the Oku-Saga Area of Sagano, Kyoto
Kyoto's "Sagano Arashiyama" is a very popular area when it comes to Kyoto tourism.
As you head northwest from Arashiyama/Togetsukyo, you'll find the "Oku-Saga Toriimoto District" located in Kyoto City's Ukyo Ward.
The quaint cityscape with thatched roof buildings has been included in the "Groups of Traditional Buildings."
Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple in Oku-Saga is said to be the "starting point for exploring Sagano."
In addition, the Adashino area is known as a place for funeral processions.
As for how to get to Sagano, we recommend the walking course from JR Saga Arashiyama Station. However, using the city bus or a taxi is also fine.
The 4 Temples of Sagano Introduced in the Video
In this video, 4 temples of Kyoto Sagano are introduced.
Takiguchi-dera
Takiguchi-dera, the Temple that can be seen from the beginning of the video around 0:10, is known for the tragic love story between Takiguchi Nyudo (Saito Tokiyori) and Yokobue.
The main building with the thatched roof that stands quietly on the scenic Mt. Ogura, is an impressive sight.
Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple
Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple, which can be seen from 0:50 in the video, is a temple of the Jodo Buddhist sect.
Within the compound, are approximately 8,000 stone Buddha statues.
Every year on August 23rd and 24th, a memorial service that involves lighting candles, called "Sento Kuyo," is held, and it is known for its mystical beauty.
Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple
Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple which can be seen from 1:44 in the video, was built by Emperor Shotoku during the Nara period (710-794).
The main hall and the building housing the principal object of worship were built during the Kamakura period (1185-1333).
It has a history of being rebuilt from remains after being abandoned. It also goes by another name "The Temple of 1200 Arhats" from the different expressions of the 1,200 arhats carved by worshippers.
Gohodo Benzaiten Shrine
You can see Gohodo Benzaiten Shrine from 2:23 in the video.
Benzaiten is known as a secret spot for viewing autumn leaves at the southeastern foot of Mt. Mandala, where one of the Gozan no Okuribi "Toriigata" is lit up.
