－Itinerary introduction－

・Kyoto Roshi As the name suggests, Roshi is the area on the west side of Kyoto. Although it is very close to the metropolitan area of Kyoto, it has rich natural landscapes. Under the radar of tourists in Kyoto, this area is dotted with many unique temples and shrines

・Ryoanji Temple Ryoanji Temple was originally a villa for nobles in the Heian period. It was converted into a Buddhist temple in 1450 AD and was listed as a world cultural heritage in 1994. The most famous scenic spot in the temple is the "Stone Court" in front of the Abbot Hall. The Stone Court is also known as "Huzidu Court" or "Qiwusan Court". Fifteen stones of different sizes are placed in the dry landscape garden made of white sand. It seems to be arranged randomly, but if you look carefully, you will find that no matter from which angle you look at it, you can only see fourteen stones. This Zen-like garden is the ultimate work of Japanese Karesansui art, and once attracted Queen Elizabeth II to visit it

・Ninnaji Temple was completed in the Utaten Dynasty in the Heian era, AD 888. After Emperor Uta abdicated, he became a monk at Ninnaji Temple and served as the abbot of the temple. Since then, the abbots of all dynasties have been held by the royal family, so it is also called the Imperial Palace. Even here Cherry blossoms also have the alias of "Omuro Sakura". People say that when the "Omuro Sakura" in Ninnaji Temple is in full bloom, it is the time when spring in Kyoto is about to say goodbye. The height of the tree is only about 2 meters, which is lower than ordinary cherry trees, so you can get close to the beauty of cherry blossoms. Omurozakura, which blooms around April 20 every year, has also been selected as one of the 100 famous cherry blossom places in Japan

・Kinkakuji Temple is the most famous temple among the three world heritage sites connected by the "Road of Clothes Hanging". It is also known as Luyuan Temple. It was originally the villa of General Ashikaga Yoshimitsu during the Muromachi Shogunate. After the death of General Yoshimitsu in 1408, it was converted into a Buddhist temple according to his will. Kinkaku-ji Temple (Shari Hall) is a three-story pavilion-like building next to Jinghu Lake. The first floor is the Heian-style dormitory-style "Hosui-in", which symbolizes nobility; the second floor is "Chaoyin Cave", which is samurai style. The third floor is a Chinese (Tang Dynasty)-style Zen Buddhist building called "White Top", with a golden phoenix symbolizing auspicious decoration on the top

・Hirano Shrine (3/25 4/20 limited period)
The main hall is registered as an important property of Japanese culture, and the sacred pattern is cherry blossoms. The cherry blossom festival called "Sakura Matsuri Kanko Matsuri" is held on April 10 every year. The origin of this festival can be traced back to 985 AD. Emperor Hanayama visited this shrine and ordered a festival to be held to pray for the prosperity of future generations. Compared with the late blooming of the cherry blossoms at Ninnaji Temple, the first blooming of the unique Kuizakura in Hirano Shrine in mid-March is the signal for the beginning of the cherry blossom season. From now until late April, you can enjoy the blooming of about 60 varieties and 400 cherry blossoms in sequence. beautiful view. During the cherry blossom season, the lights will be turned on until 21:00 in the evening, and you can easily enjoy the night cherry blossoms by sitting at the vendors around the shrine
