ーItinerary introductionー
Osaka Castle Park(Osaka Castle Park)
Osaka Castle, one of Japan's 100 famous cities, was formerly Osaka Honganji Temple (Ishiyama Honganji Temple) during the Warring States Period. It was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the Battle of Ishiyama. After being captured by the Osaka Battle, it was built by the Tokugawa Shogunate. It was burned down during the turmoil of the Meiji Restoration. It was planned as a historical monument park after the war and played a very important role in the evolution of Japanese history. Stepping into Osaka Castle standing under the clear sky, it feels like you are deep in contemporary times. It is now designated by Japan as one of Japan's Important Cultural Properties.
Sagano Arashiyama, Sagano Sightseeing Train (Arashiyama, Sagano Romantic Train)
Arashiyama was originally the name of a mountain with an altitude of 382 meters located in the west of Kyoto City. It has now become synonymous with Kyoto’s tourist routes. The Arashiyama area is not only rich in natural landscapes, but also has many traditional buildings with a long history. The Togetsukyo Bridge in the Heian period, the Tenryuji Temple built in the Muromachi period, and the spectacular Sagano bamboo forest all make people linger. Take the sightseeing train in Arashiyama to enjoy the beautiful scenery intertwined between Arashiyama and the Hozu River. Being in it is like being in a beautiful painting, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion)
Kinkaku-ji Temple was built in 1397 AD. It is an ancient temple of the Rinzai Sect's Shokokuji sect. It was originally the villa of the shogunate Ashikaga Yoshimitsu and was called Kitayama-den. It was later changed to a Buddhist temple and named after Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's Buddhist name. The official name is "Beishan Luyuan Zen Temple", also known as "Luyuan Temple". Because the appearance of the relic hall in Luyuan Temple is covered with gold foil, it makes the entire body feel resplendent and shining alone in the mountain, so it is also called the Golden Pavilion Temple. In order to demonstrate the supreme power of the shogunate samurai regime to dominate the world, the pavilions of the relic hall were built in different styles and methods. The first floor is a royal palace-style building, the second floor is a samurai building representing the shogunate regime, and the third floor is Buddhist. A unique architectural style, three different styles are cleverly blended together to become a unique historical building in Japan. Kinkaku-ji Temple was registered as a World Cultural Heritage in December 1994.
Kitano Tenmangu Shrine (Kitano Tenmangu Shrine)
Kitano Tenmangu Shrine was established in the Heian Period (947 AD) and is the headquarters of all Tenmangu Shrines in Japan. It is dedicated to the god of learning "Sugawara Michizane", who is similar to the Taoist "Bunchang Emperor" and will bless students' academic progress and success. Passed the exam.
Michizane Sugawara was the right minister (the name of a high-ranking Japanese official) during the period of Emperor Daigo of Japan (885 to 930 AD). He was outstanding in both literature and martial arts.
Since the establishment of Tenmangu Shrine, it has always been revered by the imperial family. Decades later, Emperor Ichijo bestowed the title of "Kitano Tenma Daijizaishin". Since then, Sugawara Michizane has also been worshiped as "Tenjin-sama" by the people.
Historically, Sugawara Michizane was known for his outstanding talents, so Tenmangu Shrine was very popular for praying for academic advancement and passing exams. However, the versatile Michizane Sugawara is also known as the god of farming (the god of farming), the god of arts (the god of talent), and the god of avoiding disasters (the god of disaster), and can bless believers in all aspects.
Kyoto Station (Kyoto Station/Kyoto Station)
Kyoto Station is a hub for traveling to various places in the Kyoto area. It is located in Shimokyo District, Kyoto City. The initial Kyoto Station began in 1887, and the appearance we see now was completed in 1997. It is a building rich in contemporary art style. Travelers who come to Kyoto can not only experience the characteristics of the station itself, but also experience the beauty brought by Kyoto Tower at night. The well-known Japanese popular anime Conan also uses Kyoto Station as its story setting. Come and experience the uniqueness of this place with us!
