《Latest 2019》 Kyoto / Arashiyama Sightseeing Recommended Gourmet / Leisure Spot Ranking BEST10

Tenryu-ji Temple Kyoto It is a temple of the Rinzai sect Tenryu-ji school Omotoyama, which is built in Saga-Arashiyama, one of the best tourist destinations. Kyoto It is also famous as the first place in the Five Mountains and has been certified as a World Heritage Site.

It is the site of the Zen temple Danrinji, which was founded by Emperor Saga's empress, Tachibana no Kachiko, and was used as a temporary gosho by Emperor Kameyama. The foundation was created by Takauji Ashikaga, who opened the mountain to mourn the bodhi of Emperor Go-Daigo after it was destroyed in 1339, and built Tenryu-ji Temple.

From here, let's explain the highlights of Tenryu-ji Temple. For the temple, the "Unryu-zu" drawn on the ceiling is very nice, and you can see why Tenryu-ji was designated as a World Heritage Site. In addition, "Sogenchi Garden" created by Muso Soseki is designated as a special scenic spot. The back of the warehouse is the reception desk for viewing, and if you pay the admission fee of 500 yen, you can see the beautiful scenery of Sogenchi Pond in front of the Hojo Garden. Many tourists are visiting because of its beautiful scenery.

In addition, there are many temples (small temples) in Tenryu-ji, and one of them is Hogon-in. There is a garden called "Shishiku no Niwa". "Shishi 吼" means "the Buddha preaches", and it is said to be a garden where you can feel the psychology and the right path of life with your skin and heal your heart by the voice of birds and the sound of the wind that you can hear while walking in the garden. What's more, in the lion's garden! The autumn leaves are lit up at night! The sight of the fiery autumn leaves lit up in the dark is worth a visit ♪

By the way, there is a vegetarian restaurant "Setsugetsu" in the precincts of Tenryu-ji Temple. In the vicinity of Tenryu-ji Temple Kyoto There is also a long-established store called "Old Matsu" where you can enjoy Japanese sweets, and a shop famous for its delicious yuba. Don't miss the stroll around the area!

It is a historical temple of the Shingon sect Daikakuji school, Omotoyama, which was built as a detached palace of Emperor Saga in the Heian period. Kyoto It is said to be a famous place for Saga in Ukyo-ku, Kyoto. The reason is probably that the existence of Osawaike is large.

Osawaike is a "place of scenic beauty" and is one of Japan's three major moon viewing sites, also known as "Niwako". Osawa Pond is the oldest artificial forest spring in Japan since the Heian period, and the sight of maples, cherry blossoms, and pine trees planted and the Shingyo-Hoto tower reflected on the surface of the water must be said to be superb. Fujiwara no Kintō once wrote to Hyakunin Isshu, "The sound of the waterfall has been dying for a long time, but you can hear the name flowing."

Also, because Daikakuji is a temple related to the imperial family, it has a noble atmosphere that is different from ordinary temples. The "bran" of the Shinden and the Main Living Quarters is the highlight of Daikakuji Temple, and the peony and red and white plum blossoms of the Shinden are very beautiful works. Both are written by Mr. Kano Sanraku, and are representative of the gorgeous Momoyama era.

By the way, at Daikakuji Temple, there are festivals along the four seasons. At the popular event "Ikebana Saga Goryu Flower Arrangement Festival", you can see the large vase of the temple treasure "Feng Rui" that was used for the flower arrangement of successive presidents His Eminence.

Enrian, located in Arashiyama, is a privately-owned temple that is usually open to the public in the fall season, that is, the fall season. In the fall season, Arashiyama will be crowded with lots of tourists. However, “シ ー ズ ン” is a famous place to know even if it is such a season. If you walk from each line Arashiyama Station, there is a route that goes through Tokokokoji, Rokushusha, and Nizonin. A place located a little further behind the Nizen-in Temple is a distant place. This route is very attractive and recommended. Why? It's because it passes through the "falling down". It is a land where nobles and literary people fled the city and lived as a remnant long ago in Hino. A small fence is built to blend in with the idyllic countryside. It is Kusanagi that is called "Rakushisha (Rakushisha)". In fact, it is the house of Yui Matsuo Yukari. For this reason, the route that passes through the Ritsuya is popular with tourists who walk around Chino.

"Giouji" described in the first volume "Gio" of "Heike Monogatari" famous for "Voice of the Bell of Gion Seisha".

It used to be in the precincts of Giouji Temple, and later became a temple of the Shingon sect called Giouji. It is very popular with women because it has a quiet appearance. One of the reasons for its popularity is probably the influence of the "Sad Love Story" that is passed down in Giouji Temple. It is a story about the heyday of the Heian clan at the end of the Heian period, and describes the encounter between beautiful Shirabyoshi and Kiyomori. This Giouji Temple is a hidden spot in "Moss Temple", and the moss garden is very beautiful. The photos taken here are very beautiful and will definitely look great on Instagram.

The nearest station is Hankyu-Arashiyama Station on the Hankyu-Arashiyama Line, but it is a little far away when you walk. If Giouji itself is your destination instead of a walk, we recommend using the bus as well as the train.

Do you know the venerable shrine "Nonomiya Shrine" that appears in the Genji Monogatari? Kyoto It is a shrine that stands quietly in the bamboo forest of Sagano, which is the starting point of the standard sightseeing course "" Sagano Tour "".

It is said that if you pray while stroking the sacred stone "Kameishi" at this "Nonomiya Shrine", your wish will be fulfilled within a year, so it is always crowded with tourists. Among those who actually asked Kameishi, word of mouth of the effect such as "marriage was decided" and "I had a child immediately after the trip" spread, and it became very popular with young couples and newlyweds. ..

Nonomiya Shrine is famous for marriage and love fulfillment, but in fact, there are many gods who have benefits other than marriage. There are various things such as child treasure, academics, and prosperous business, so even men alone are OK ♪

Let me briefly explain how to worship. After worshiping at each shrine in the precincts, it is recommended to make a wish and finally pray while stroking the "Kameishi".

In addition, the bamboo forest road extending from Nonomiya Shrine is very attractive and is ideal as a shooting spot. On the way to the temple "Kano Nenbutsuji", which is related to Kukai, you can get plenty of negative ions ♪ If you want to make a wish and instagram, go to Nonomiya Shrine!

Do you know the famous shrine "Kurumazaki Jinja" as a power spot for entertainers? In Tamagaki, which fills the precincts, the names of celebrities such as historical drama actors, talents, models, and idols are lined up in a row! The power stone amulet "Prayer God Stone" that fulfills any wish is famous, and the general public visits endlessly. " Kyoto If you go to, first go here without hesitation! It seems that some fans have decided. JR Kyoto From the station Kyoto Access is also good because you can get on the bus and go from there without changing trains. Kurumazakijinja Station is also located on Randen (Keifuku Electric Railroad), so if you want to get on Randen, why don't you visit it?

"Matsuo Taisha" was built by the shrine during the Asuka period Kyoto One of the oldest shrines in Japan, with a precious history Kyoto It is famous as a tourist destination in Japan. Unlike Arashiyama, which has many tourists, it has a quiet and solemn atmosphere. The large torii "Ichino Torii" is built in front of the station, so it's a perfect landmark. The main shrine of "Matsuo-zukuri", a roof with a unique architectural style, is free to visit and is full of benefits. While taking a quiet and relaxing walk in the beautiful garden Kyoto Why don't you feel the history of the world?

In the spring, many Japanese kerria flowers bloom, and the entire shrine is full of Japanese kerria. The scene is photogenic, and there is no doubt that it will look great on Instagram ♪

If you are visiting Arashiyama for the first time, we recommend sightseeing by trolley train as a royal road course.

It runs slowly using a part of the old San-In Line, which is no longer in use, and connects 7.3km one way from the bustling Arashiyama to Kameoka, the country of Tanba. There are two easy-to-access trolley stations in the Arashiyama area. The brick-like station building "Torokko Saga Station" adjacent to Saga Arashiyama Station on the JR Sagano Line, and "Torokko Arashiyama Station" that blends in with the atmosphere of Arashiyama.

By the way, Torokko Arashiyama Station is close to the small diameter of the bamboo grove, which is famous as a location for dramas and movies, so it seems that many people get off the Torokko train and take a walk on a tourist rickshaw. The scenery seen from the truck is exceptional, and you can overlook the "Oigawa River" over which the Togetsu Bridge is built. The upstream is called the "Hozu River" and the downstream is called the "Katsura River", and you can enjoy the vivid scenery surrounding the mountain river slowly on a trolley.

Actually, there are some customers who don't just ride the dolly. The secret is that you can enjoy going down the Hozu River from Torokko Kameoka Station, the final point.

Here's a little bit of knowledge about trolley trains. Reservations are required to board the trolley, but it is easier to make a reservation from Kameoka than from Saga. It is often the case that reservations are not available from Saga, so in such cases, let's take the train from Kameoka. After returning from Kameoka to Saga, head to the "Station Footbath" at Arashiyama Station. If you heal your tired feet with a warm footbath, you will be in a paradise.

* Note: Torokko Arashiyama Station has a long staircase to the platform. If you are lame or wheelchair-accessible, please use Torokko Saga Station.

The course that starts from Kameyama Park and walks around Arashiyama and Ogurayama is popular with children and the elderly as a course for moderate hiking. The name "Ogura Hyakunin Isshu", which is said to have been created by the Fujiwara no Teika, is derived from the fact that it was held in Ogurayama. There are various sightseeing spots on Mt. Ogura. I will introduce only a few of them.

First of all, the Nichiren sect temple "Jojakkoji" on the hillside of Mt. Ogura is known as a famous spot for autumn leaves.

Next is "Nison-in", which was revived by Honen's disciple, Mausoleum, after the Onin War. It is said that it is called "Nison-in" because it enshrines the two principal idols, Shaka Nyorai and Amida Nyorai. Officially named "Ogurayama Nison-in Temple Kadaiji", it belongs to the Tendai sect. From the main gate, which is said to be the remains of Fushimi Castle, to the main hall of Nison-in Temple, it is a very popular road called "Autumn Leaves Baba". This is because in the fall, all the roads of about 150m are covered with autumn leaves.

And there is Okochi Sanso, a former villa of Denjiro Okochi, who gained popularity in numerous historical dramas. Matcha and sweets will be served to visitors. The tea confectionery is Monaka with the characters of the mountain lodge engraved on it, and is also sold as a souvenir. There is a strolling garden of about 20,000 m2, and the magnificent view is wonderful.

The last is "Ogurayama Observatory". With Hozu Gorge Kyoto It is popular as the widest observatory with a view of the city. There is also a cafe here, so if you get tired from hiking, you can take a break on the cafe terrace. The nice terrace seats have a very nice view ♪

Horinji Temple, which is famous for the "13th visit" event, has stairs that are very well known nationwide. This is because it is often seen in TV dramas, such as being pushed down or being a location for historical drama (laughs).

The main hall has been rebuilt since the Meiji era, and you can overlook Arashiyama from the observatory. When the weather is nice, you can see a pleasant view.

Like Giouji, this Horyuji Temple has appeared as a stage of tragic love in the Heike Monogatari. Because it is famous for being related to Taira no Kiyomori's daughter Kyoto Many tourists who like history and history are visiting.

In addition, the Tahoto, which you can see when you climb the stairs of Horinji Temple, is a beautiful building with a stately character as a symbol of Arashiyama. It is a place where you can see the fresh green beautifully even in the rainy season, so it has a charm that is not limited to autumn.

What did you think. We have introduced a wide range of recommended spots such as Arashiyama, Sagano, and Ogurayama. in this way Kyoto Arashiyama has many places where you can enjoy not only world heritage sites and historic buildings, but also the wonderful scenery of nature. I think that the area where you can enjoy is a perfect place to take a walk. Why don't you experience the Arashiyama walking course with a map in your hand? If you have a lot of places to visit, consider the time allocation when deciding on a course. I think that you will be satisfied if you take a walk after checking the regular holidays and viewing hours in advance ♪
