【Route 1 Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine】 is the head shrine of approximately 30,000 Inari shrines throughout Japan, and is famous for its "Senbon Torii" (thousands of torii gates). The vermilion torii gates stretch along the mountain path leading to the summit of Inari Mountain, symbolizing commercial prosperity and abundant harvests. It is beautiful in all seasons, especially in the early morning when there are fewer people, creating a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.
【Route 1 Sanjusangendo Temple】 The temple grounds contain 1001 statues of the Thousand-Armed Kannon, creating a magnificent atmosphere. The name originates from the 33 spaces between the pillars of the main hall. An annual archery competition is held here, making it a unique event.
【Route 1 Kiyomizu-dera Temple】 A famous ancient temple in Kyoto, built in 778, it is renowned for its suspended wooden stage, where performances are offered to Kannon (Avalokitesvara) during special religious ceremonies. It offers panoramic views of Kyoto. Excellent for cherry blossom viewing in spring and autumn foliage viewing. The temple's name originates from Otowa Waterfall, whose water is said to bring health, academic success, or good fortune in marriage.
【Route 1 Kodai-ji Temple】 Built by Kita-no-Mandokoro, the wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, to commemorate Hideyoshi. The garden is elegant. Unique nighttime illumination events are held here in spring, summer, and autumn. There are two rustic tea rooms, both designed by Sen no Rikyu, the "father of the tea ceremony." Toyotomi Hideyoshi's jinhaori, woven with gold and silver threads, was an outer garment worn over his armor and was made from a tapestry gifted to him by a Portuguese delegation.
【Route 1 Yasaka Shrine】 The guardian shrine of Gion, enshrining Susanoo. Numerous festivals are held throughout the year, with the "Gion Matsuri" being one of Japan's three major festivals. Entering the shrine grounds, you'll find an impressive worship hall and a central stage adorned with lanterns. The atmosphere is romantic when the lanterns are lit at night.
【Route 2 Higashi Honganji Temple】 Unlike many other attractions, Higashi Honganji Temple still has a significant influence on modern religion. As the head temple of the Jodo Shinshu sect, its magnificent wooden structure makes it one of the important Buddhist centers in Kyoto.
【Route 3 Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion)】 Officially known as Rokuon-ji, the temple's imagery, meticulously decorated with gold leaf, is beautifully reflected in the Mirror Pond. Famous for its reflection in the adjacent Mirror Pond, surrounded by rocks and pine trees, the scenery is breathtaking and not to be missed. It is enchanting in all seasons. The Golden Pavilion is especially enchanting in the winter snow and is one of Kyoto's World Heritage Sites.
【Route 4 Heian Shrine】 Heian Shrine was built to commemorate the 1,100th anniversary of Kyoto's founding as a capital city, and its towering red torii gate is its most iconic feature. With its vibrant colors and elegant gardens, Heian Shrine is a classic symbol of Kyoto and a popular tourist attraction. The shrine's gardens are built around a central lake, spanned by a beautiful bridge that appears to float on the water. You can buy fish feed to feed the koi and turtles in the lake and watch them scramble for the food.
【Route 5 Yasui Konpira-gu Shrine】 A miraculous shrine famous for "severing bad relationships and forging good ones." At its heart is the massive "Enkichi Enkibe" (Enkichi and Enkibe Monument), through which worshippers traditionally pass through a stone cave, symbolizing the severing of old bad relationships and the establishment of new good ones. The grounds are covered with white paper slips bearing wishes, creating a unique landscape. It is Kyoto's most unique place to pray for changes in interpersonal relationships and a fresh start in life.
