An Introductory Video of Sanjusangendo, One of Kyoto's Leading Sightseeing Destinations This video, titled "Sanjusangendo, Kyoto in 4K - Japan As It Truly Is" (Sanjusangendo, Kyoto in 4K - 三十三間堂 京都 - Japan As It Truly Is), was uploaded by "The Japan FAQ." It Introduces Sanjusangendo, a popular tourist destination in Kyoto, located in Japan's Kansai Region. Sanjusangendo is a historical tourist attraction that many students in Kyoto visit on field trips. The temple is a National Treasure and an Important Cultural Property, and is also known for its many annual events. This article will introduce highlights of and tourist information about Sanjusangendo. Sightseeing Information for Sanjusangendo, a Popular Sightseeing Destination in Kyoto Photo:The east gate at Sanjusangendo, Higashiyama, Kyoto Sanjusangendo is a Buddhist temple belonging to the Tendai sect of Buddhism, and is located in Sanjusangendo-Mawaramachi, in Higashiyama, Kyoto. It is located in the Higashiyama Shichijo area of Kyoto and is surrounded by many historical tourist attractions, including Hokoji Temple, Toyokuni Shrine, and the Kyoto National Museum. Regarding transportation, Sanjusangendo is conveniently located approximately 10 minutes by bus from JR Kyoto Station. There is also a parking lot available for those coming by car. There is an admission fee to enter the temple, and the average time required to visit and tour the temple is about 45 minutes. That being said, there are many attractions to see at Sanjusangendo, so we recommend setting aside adequate time to view everything the temple has to offer. History and Highlights of Sanjusangendo Photo:The Japanese garden at Sanjusangendo, Kyoto The video begins at the gate of Sanjusangendo and starts by introducing the Japanese garden located on the temple grounds. There are hydrangeas in bloom in the beautiful, well-maintained garden, which was designed as a strolling garden with a lovely pond located at its center by professional Japanese garden landscapers. Shown at 1:33 in the video is the main hall of Rengeo-in (Sanjusangendo), which has been designated as a National Treasure. The main hall is 120 meters long from north to south and has 33 spaces between the pillars, which is why it is called Sanjusangendo (三十三間堂, roughly "The Hall of 33 Intervals," because there are 33 intervals between the building's support columns). Sanjusangendo was built by Emperor Go-Shirakawa in the late Heian Period, but was destroyed by fire and the current building was rebuilt in 1266 during the Kamakura Period. In order to make Sanjusangendo resistant to earthquakes and fires, various seismic isolation methods have been employed, such as connecting the pillars with two beams. From 2:26 in the video, the inner hall of Sanjusangendo is introduced. There are a total of 1,001 statues of Kannon, Fujin and Raijin, the gods of wind and thunder respectively, as well as 28 Buddhist statues enshrined in the hall. The standing statues of the thousand-armed Kannon (Goddess of Mercy), designated as National Treasures are lined up in a row and are a sight to behold. It is said that among the statues there is always a Buddhist statue with a face that looks like you, or one that resembles the face of the person you wish to meet. Be sure to take your time looking… Then, shown at 2:37, you can see the 3-meter-tall seated statue of the Thousand-armed Kannon, also designated as a national treasure. The statue has 42 hands, representing the "thousand arms," but because it is difficult to sculpt such a statue 42 arms are sculpted instead, 2 of which form the Mudra of Veneration while the remaining 40 represent the 25 Buddhist worlds. Other attractions include Taikobei and Nandaimon Gate, which were donated by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Annual Events at Sanjusangendo Photo:Omato Taikai, Sanjusangendo The most well-known events held at Sanjusangendo are "Yanagi no Okaji," a ritual involving holy water, and "Omato Taikai," a coming-of-age archery competition, both of which are associated with "Toshiya." Both of these events are held on Sundays around January 15th, and are always crowded with people. During "Omato Taikai," approximately 2,000 fresh adults loose arrows at a distance of 120 meters in the main hall. "Yanagi no Okaji" is a ritual of praying to the goddess of mercy with a toothpick and pouring water over worshippers to remove various illnesses, and is said to be particularly effective in preventing headaches. "Shunto-e" a spring festival held every year on March 3, is also a popular event, with flower exhibitions and performances, and peach charms for women. Summary of Sanjusangendo, One of Kyoto's Foremost Tourist Attractions This video, titled "Sanjusangendo, Kyoto in 4K - Japan As It Truly Is," introduces Sanjusangendo (Rengeo-in), a Buddhist Temple and one of Kyoto's leading sightseeing destinations.

Enjoy the 4K video that will have you feeling like you're actually walking through the garden of Enkoji Temple, and experience the autumn leaves dancing in the light to the faint sound of a suikinkutsu. Highlights of Enkoji Temple in Northern Kyoto Photo:Autumn leaves at Enkoji Temple, Kyoto The reason for the overwhelmingly beautiful autumn leaves at Enkoji Temple is its location. Located in the northern part of Kyoto City, Enkoji Temple is characterized by colorful autumn leaves every year due to the extreme temperature differences between the four seasons. The highlight of Enkoji Temple's autumn foliage is the garden Jugyu no Niwa (十牛の庭, lit. "The Garden of Ten Oxen"), where visitors can view the leaves from various vantage points. [Video] 0:50 - The Beautiful Garden Jugyu no Niwa [Video] 1:30 - Jugyu no Niwa Seen From the Exhibit Hall Photo:The chozubachi at Enkoji Temple, Kyoto A suikinkutsu is a Japanese garden ornament that makes a lovely sound. The suikinkutsu in the garden of Enkoji Temple is made of a wide-rimmed chozubachi (手水鉢, water bowl), a shape not seen anywhere else, and has been cherished by hobbyists as the "Enkoji style" since ancient times. The vivid autumn leaves on the surface of the water sway in the wind, making it a popular scene for photographers and instagrammers. After snapping some photos of the beautiful autumn leaves, visitors can enjoy listening to the sound of the suikinkutsu. The sound of water dripping into the hollow of the pot, which is embedded in the ground, is similar to the sound of a koto (the Japanese harp), and it resonates in the hearts of those who hear it. [Video] 3:30 - The Faint Sound of the Suikinkutsu The history of Enkoji Temple dates back to 1601, when the famous warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu built Enkoji Temple in Fushimi and turned it into a school to promote education and learning in Japan. The temple also exhibits some of the oldest wooden typefaces in Japan (an Important Cultural Property), and has a history tracing back to the origins of printing in Japan. From the hilltop of the Toshogu Shrine on top of the mountain, visitors can enjoy the view of Arashiyama and Kitayama, and at dusk, the golden hour envelops the whole area, offering a spectacular view that changes with every passing moment. Enkoji Temple is also home to a bamboo forest path, which is said to have been frequented by Maruyama Okyo, a Japanese painter active in Kyoto during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868 AD). His painting "Bamboo in Wind and Rain" (an Important Cultural Property) is also on display at the temple.

Saiho-ji, a Moss Temple in Kyoto: Video Introduction Photo:The garden at Saiho-ji, a moss temple in Kyoto This video, titled "[8K] Autumn Leaves at Saiho-ji (Moss Temple)" ([8K] 西芳寺(苔寺)と紅葉 Saihoji Temple (moss temple) and autumn leaves), was uploaded by "AQUA Geo Graphic." Be sure to enjoy the beauty of Saiho-ji, a kokedera (moss temple) in Kyoto, and the breathtaking scenery of the temple in autumn. Saiho-ji Temple History Photo:The garden at Saiho-ji, a moss temple in Kyoto Saiho-ji Temple, also known as a "kokedera" (moss temple), is located in Nishikyo, Kyoto, in Japan's Kansai region. The temple was built by the Japanese Buddhist priest Gyoki at the order of Emperor Shomu during the Nara Period (710-794 A.D.), and is a famous temple with more than 1,300 years of history, whose grounds are covered with more than 120 varieties of moss. Throughout its long history, and changes in religious denominations, people throughout the ages have been captivated by the temple's beauty. During the Kamakura period (1185-1333 A.D.), it was a temple of the Jodo sect of Buddhism, but was destroyed by warfare. However, in 1339, the temple was restored as a Zen Buddhist temple by the famous Buddhist monk, calligrapher, poet, and master gardener Muso Kokushi. The garden at Saiho-ji Temple has served as a model for the gardens at Kinkakuji (the Golden Pavilin) and Ginkakuji (the Silver Pavilion) in Kyoto. The Beautiful Garden of Saiho-ji Temple, a Moss Temple and World Cultural Heritage Photo:The garden at Saiho-ji, a moss temple in Kyoto The main attraction of Saiho-ji Temple is, as the name "moss temple" implies, the moss that covers the temple grounds, and the garden created by the master gardener Muso Kokushi. The upper section is a dry landscape garden, while the lower section is a strolling pond garden. The upper level, however, is currently closed to the public. Visitors often pray at the temple after reciting sutras and then stroll around the garden. The main attraction of the lower section of the garden at Saiho-ji Temple is Golden Pond (黄金池, Ogonchi), also called "Shinji-ike" (心字池, Heart-shaped Pond) because it's shaped like the Japanese character for "heart" (心). When the autumn leaves are at their best, the contrast between the temple's green moss and the autumn leaves dancing over the pond creates a beautiful scene. The teahouse Shonan-tei (湘南亭) is one of the highlights of the lower section, and is said to have been rebuilt by Sen no Shoan, the second son of Sen no Rikyu, a renowned Japanese tea master. The view of Golden Pond from the tsukimidai (月見台, moon-viewing platform) overhanging the north side of the teahouse is truly spectacular. Shonan-tei is also designated as an Important Cultural Property by the government of Japan. The upper section of the garden is not open to the public, but in Shitoan, a hall dedicated to the temple's founder, are enshrined the tablets of the founder Gyoki, Takaoka Shinno (a Japanese prince), and Muso Kokushi, as well as wooden statues of various prominent Japanese figures. On the upper level, there is a dry landscape garden. The dry landscape garden is a place where visitors can experience the history of the garden, as the masonry remains unchanged the temple was created by Muso Kokushi in 1339. Saiho-ji Temple – Verdant Moss Forests and Autumn Leaves Photo:The garden at Saiho-ji, a moss temple in Kyoto The best time to enjoy the contrast of moss and autumn leaves is from mid to late November, and the best time to see the 120-plus species of moss turn lush shades of green is typically from June to July, during Japan's rainy season.

Saiho-ji Temple: Reservations, Admission Fees, Etc.
