Daitokuji Temple in Kyoto

#Get a discount without relying on luck Within the temple grounds, there are many temples such as Sanmon Gate, Butsuden, Buddha Hall, Hatdo Hall of the Hojo Sutra, and Karamon Gate. In these temples and buildings, Sanmon Gate, which is designated as an important cultural property, is a Karayo-style architectural building. Among the sanmon of Zen temples, Daitokuji's Sanmon Gate is considered the second oldest after Tofukuji's Sanmon Gate. The second floor of the gate was extended by Sen no Rikyu, but it is said that if you put your own statue there, you will make Hideyoshi angry and have bad results for yourself. The hermitage, or Hojo, which is designated as a national treasure, has paintings by Kano Tanyu (狩野探幽 / KANO Tanyu), and in the front garden (garden around the hermitage), there are trees and rocks arranged along the ground with white sand. In the past, Mount Hiei and Kamogawa River were used as landscapes (in a garden landscape design that uses distant mountains as if they were part of the garden). The Karamon Gate, a national treasure, is said to be a guest house and pleasure palace built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in Kyoto. #kyoto #autumn #japantrip #kyotoautumn #kansai #traveljapanbyyourself #autumnleaves #kyoto #travelkyoto
