This is an advanced mountain trail in Kyoto. I think that there are quite a lot of people who are in trouble when they try to list tourist spots in Kitayama other than Kinkaku and Ryoanji. It's also fun to look for it on your own. Retreat Hospital, please give it a try

It is said that Ishikawa Goemon was overwhelmed by the scenery here and shouted. I felt that this was my final destination, the state of beauty. The misty Higashiyama and Kyoto, the stage of history, are wonderful.

The golden hall was built by repurposing the building of the Imperial Palace. The cherry blossoms in the room are the best... The golden hall, which has been seen for more than 200 years, still feels the history. The cherry blossoms in the palace were a little early, but it was very nice to see the Imperial Family, Shingon Buddhism, and Buddhist art.

In 2024, the events of the 1300th anniversary of the founding of the Chiba Prefecture Kamogawa City Mt. Takasu Oyama Temple and Takasu Shrine will be held

I would like to say to those who are satisfied with only school trips. That's not enough to know all about Kyoto. If you walk around Kyoto, you can say goodbye to the hustle and bustle of the city. Where is this place? I think it's a journey to find it.

When I was walking along the Kinukake road, I turned around and saw the Niomon gate towering over me. Thank you, I'll be back. As we run, the gentle Spring sunlight shines on us.

If such a large gate is located near the Golden Pavilion and the rock garden of Ryoanji Temple, why doesn't everyone go? And that's fine. You can leave it as it is. Remembering the Rashomon gate that used to be in Heiankyo, I walked slowly, indulging in the thoughts of the thief in the rain inn under the Rashomon.

When the number of people at Nanzenji Temple increased, it happened to be in a place I was passing by. It is the entrance to the national treasure, Nanzenji Temple Hojo. Impression when I think about inviting imperial envoys and messengers of the shogunate from here. I want to let a lot of people know this, but I want to keep it to myself. With that in mind, I'm typing today

Photographed 4/27/24. It is Hanachozu of Naritasan Kawagoe Betsuin. It is a Children's Day specification. 🎏

After climbing the wonderful gate, I looked at it from below. I was surprised that it was so big. I thought it would be nice to look at it from below. The thought that the great thief under the heavens also saw this scenery gave me goosebumps. It's chilly and I can't stop the excitement that doesn't subside even if I put on a coat.

Nanzenji Temple's dry mountain water, this garden, which is famous as a famous garden, has a calmness that is different from Ryoanji. Beyond this is the Traditional Japanese straw raincoat tiger of Kano Souyu, which is an important cultural property. It was a day when I felt that the days of being surrounded by cultural assets were impression.

That was three years ago, when I visited Kyoto for the second time. Ryoanji Temple was closed for renovation work and I was at a loss. At that time, there was a Ninnaji temple nearby, and I decided to head there. Sohonzan of the Shingon sect Sohonzan Omuro sect. It was December when I felt warmth as well as beauty.

To the final destination of this trip, Nanzenji Temple. I don't know how many days I waited to see this gate, but it feels like a long time. This gate sat majestically as if it had been waiting. I forgot to point to my umbrella and stood there dumbfounded.

There was an interesting person at Ninnaji, says Kaneyoshi Hoji. I feel that Ninnaji Temple is a warm place that embraces such humanity. I wonder if I'm the only one who feels quaint and heartwarming in this blank space.

I learned about Impermanence and Impermanence in Japanese language class, but I thought that this might be an exception. At the Suirokaku Aqueduct of Nanzenji Temple ...

The head of the Rinzai sect Sohonzan Myoshinji Temple, Katsura Spring Temple. Moss doesn't talk and shows the same appearance all the time. But if you look at it from a sitting position, the moss speaks. Oh I see??? Is this natural? It was early spring when my legs started to go numb.

A short walk from Kiyomizu-dera Temple to Chishaku-in, a temple associated with Toyotomi Hideyoshi. It's a hidden gem. You can have this scenic garden all to yourself. There is a beautiful fusuma painting on the back, and Rikyu's favorite Garden spreads out in front of you. It was sad to leave this beautiful and gorgeous world, and I looked back many times.

This is the ceiling painting "Twin Dragon Ceiling" taken at Kenninji Temple, which I visited on a walk in Kyoto sometime. When I heard about the photo contest on Japanese history being held in 2024 (Year of the Dragon), this photo was the first thing that came to mind. Dragons have been the subject of worship and worship since ancient times! Kyoto, dragons, temples, and other elements are all suitable for the subject of Japanese history, so I decided to post it.

Early April Ueno Park Tsutendo and Ninja Pond There are many shrub cherry blossoms on the promenade surrounding the pond, so it is a good place to take a two-shot with the cherry blossoms. The sun was setting on the way from the park to the temple, and by the time we passed through the temple and came out on the promenade, lights began to light up here and there. While enjoying the illuminated cherry blossoms at night, I turned around for about half a circle, and the scenery unique to the magic hour, which made me feel like an oasis in the city, was reflected in the water mirror. It seemed that an idol was performing live at a nearby stadium, and the cheerful and cute voices of cheerleading echoed through the pond, making people who came and went smile. At the beginning of the evening, it seems that the bustle has only just begun.

At Kenfukuji Temple in Takato-cho, Ina City, Nagano Prefecture, there is a master craftsman in Takato Masonry, by Sadaharu Moriya. The illuminated stone Buddha was artistic, giving the impression that I was watching a museum exhibition, and I couldn't help but say, "It's amazing." The cherry blossoms and autumn leaves are wonderful, but I also liked the nostalgic place with a lot of historical heritage.

Kamakura Meigetsu-in Temple's Window of Enlightenment On a sunny holiday, I visited Kita-Kamakura. Even in the middle of April, the cherry blossoms turn into leaf cherry blossoms and the landscape is a little lonely, but the scenery glimpsed behind this circular window is deep green, and I could already feel the Omen of summer. Behind the dimly lit Main Shrine, the colorful cut-out composition of the Garden illuminated by natural light is like looking at a painting. No matter what time you visit, you will be able to enjoy the beauty of the four seasons.
