-Itinerary introduction-

  • Heian Shrine was specially built in the 28th year of Meiji to commemorate the 1100th anniversary of Heian's move to the capital. It is a young shrine in Kyoto, the thousand-year-old capital. But it is famous for its vast area and gorgeous appearance. The huge orange-red torii gate standing in front of the main entrance is one of the landmarks of Kyoto. Every New Year, many people come here to pay their respects and pray for good luck and prosperous business.

  • Nanzen Temple was founded by Emperor Kameyama in the fourth year of Shoei (1291), and its first abbot was the Ming Dynasty Imperial Master Guan Guanpumon. Nanzenji is the earliest Zen temple in Japan built by the royal family. Therefore, it is ranked among the five mountains in Kyoto and is the highest Zen temple in Japan. The soup tofu in front of Nanzenji Temple is a famous local cuisine in Kyoto and is a food experience not to be missed in Kyoto.

  • Jonan Palace Jonan Palace was founded 1,200 years ago during the relocation of the Heian capital. It is located in Fushimi District, southern Kyoto. The gardens in the grounds include plums, tsubakis, cherry blossoms, vines, maples, azaleas and other flowers and plants, which can be enjoyed all year round. The scenery goes on and on. The theme of visiting Jonangu Shrine is to eliminate bad luck and keep the family safe and happy. It is famous in Japan as "车のお祓い" (praying for safe driving of cars).
