Introduction to travel destinations

1. Tenryuji Temple
Tenryu-ji Temple was founded to pray for the soul of the Emperor of Japan and is a place where the royal villa was turned into a temple. However, this also disappeared due to war, and the current Tenryuji Temple was rebuilt in the 1900s. This place is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, and in front of the Hojo building is Muso Soseki's Jisenkaiyu Garden, a popular spot in Tenryuji. There are many rest areas throughout Tenryuji Temple, making it a great travel destination for leisurely viewing with children or parents.

2. Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
'Arashiyama Bamboo Forest' is a famous landmark that represents Arashiyama along with Togetsukyo Bridge. A walking path has been created in an area where tall bamboo grows densely, so you can enjoy a walk through the approximately 400m bamboo forest. Everything you see is lush green, and the presence of bamboo covering the sky is truly impressive. It does not lose its green color all year round, so you can feel refreshed whenever you visit.

3. Golden Pavilion
The official name of Kinkakuji Temple, one of the historic temples boasting a history of about 600 years, is ‘Rokuonji.’ The reason it was called Golden Pavilion was because the second and third floors of the three-story pavilion were covered with gold leaf. Kinkakuji Temple is a relic temple that enshrines the relics of Buddha and is the most famous scenic spot in Kyoto.

4. Fushimi Inari Taisha
Fushimi Inari Shrine reveres and worships five gods. That god is Inari, who is believed to bring about abundant harvests and business prosperity. There are a total of over 30,000 shrines dedicated to the god Inari in Japan. There are shrines dedicated to the god Inari at corporate workplaces, on the rooftops of buildings, and sometimes even on private property. Fushimi Inari Shrine is a shrine for the general public, but is also used by members of the imperial family. In ancient times, it was a place where emperors often made offerings.

Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine was built in 711, before Kyoto became the capital of Japan. On the way to the 233m high Mt. Inari, there are numerous stone altars and approximately 10,000 main gates lined up in a row. The long tunnel formed by the bright orange one-pillar gate creates a symbolic landscape of Kyoto.
