Product Info

- Trip Introduction -

  • Heian Jingu Shrine
    Built in 1895 to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyo, Heian Jingu is a relatively young shrine in the thousand-year-old city of Kyoto. However, it is famous for its vast grounds and magnificent appearance. The massive orange-red torii gate standing in front of the main entrance is one of Kyoto's landmarks. Every New Year, many people come here for their first shrine visit (Hatsumode) to pray for good luck and prosperous business.

  • Nanzen-ji Temple
    Founded in 1291 by Emperor Kameyama, the first head priest was Daemyung Kokushi Mukan Fumon. Nanzen-ji is the first Zen temple in Japan built at the request of the Imperial family, ranking above the Kyoto Gozan (Five Mountains) as the highest-ranking Zen temple in Japan. The Yudofu served in front of Nanzen-ji is a local specialty of Kyoto and a culinary experience you cannot miss.

  • Jonangu Shrine
    Founded 1,200 years ago during the relocation of the capital to Heian-kyo, Jonangu is located in the Fushimi Ward in southern Kyoto. Its gardens are planted with various flowers and plants such as plum, camellia, cherry, wisteria, maple, and azalea, offering beautiful scenery throughout the seasons. The main purpose of visiting Jonangu is to ward off bad luck and pray for family peace and safety. It is famous throughout Japan for its 'Kuruma no Oharai' (blessings for vehicle safety).
