There are many temples in Kyoto, both large and small. If this is your first time visiting Kyoto, you can’t miss the Kiyomizu Temple and Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine that we introduced earlier. But if you have been to Kyoto several times and want to explore more, you can go to the following small temples: 1️⃣ Vajra Temple 📬 〒605-0828 390 Kinen-cho, Higashiyama District, Kyoto Prefecture Yasaka Koshin-do is filled with colorful wishing monkeys with names, dates, and wishes written on them. The monkey amulet has its hands and feet tied, which represents the mind that is always on the move like a monkey can calm down and restrain its desires. It is said that if you make two wishes to the wishing monkey and give up one of them, the wish will come true. Yasaka Koshin Hall is dedicated to the "Blue Faced King Kong". The Gengshen faith believes that monkeys are messengers of God, and the three monkeys who "do not look at what is improper, do not listen to what is improper, and do not speak what is improper" are also followers of the Blue-faced Vajra. This temple is not far from Kiyomizu Temple and attracts many tourists wearing kimonos to take photos. 2️⃣Zenju Temple 📬 〒605-0811 146 Komatsucho, Higashiyama District, Kyoto Prefecture It is also known as Marichi Paradise.

#Japanese and Korean Spring Good Places Inabado Temple (Hyouji Temple) is famous for praying for good health. In recent years, it has also attracted attention in Japan and overseas for its cute animal guardians. The history of this temple can be traced back to the Heian period more than a thousand years ago. Inaba (now Tottori Prefecture) Imperial Secretary "Tachibana Yukihei" was inspired by a dream on his way back to Kyoto. A Buddha statue of Medicine Master Tathagata was found. So after returning to Kyoto, Inaba-do was built to enshrine this Buddha statue that symbolizes recovery from illness and the removal of bad luck. Medicine Buddha, Shakyamuni Tathagata and Amitabha Buddha are collectively known as the "Three Great Tathagatas of Japan" and are widely revered. I heard that praying for good health and fighting cancer here is very effective, so many tourists with pets at home will buy a guardian to pray for the health of their furry children. The way to pray is to 🕯️light candles or light incense sticks Inside the temple, there are a lot of products for sale in the shape of cats, dogs and other animals, which are very cute☺️ Address: 728 Inabado-cho, Shimokyo-ku, Kyoto City Transportation: 5-minute walk from subway "Shijo Station" or "Gojo Station" or "Hankyu Karasuma Station" Free admission #KYOTO #KYOTO FEATURES #KYOTO TRAVEL #Kyoto Attractions #Kyoto Free Travel #Shrine #OMOMOU #Praying #Maoyai #Kansai #KANSAI FREE TRAVEL #KANSAI TRAVEL #KANSAI ATTRACTIONS #日本 #日本Travel #Japanese Attractions

#Sakura2024 Byodoin Temple is located at No. 116 Renka, Uji City, a suburb of Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is a temple garden with a pond and boat tour style in the Heian period. The site is a Feng Shui treasure land, facing the Uji River in front and Mount Asahi in the distance. Byodoin Temple, an early Japanese wooden structure, was built along the Uji River in Kyoto. It is said to be the ultimate concrete realization of the Western Paradise by the ancient Japanese. The temple was built in 1052. Its size is half of the area of ​​Uji today. It was built to draw water from the Uji River. According to the Buddhist Dharma Ending Age, the Amida Hall was built to the west of the pond, and the worship hall symbolizing the present world was built to the east of the pond. This is a representative building of the "Pure Land Garden". Its specifications have become a reference indicator for later Japanese gardens. As a world cultural heritage, Pingdengyuan is a must-see for those who like Japanese garden architecture. Detailed address: No. 116 Renka, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture, Japan
