Higashi Hongan-ji, located in Kyoto, Japan, is a significant Buddhist temple with a rich history dating back to the 16th century. Established in 1602, it is one of two head temples of the Jodo Shinshu school, a prominent Pure Land Buddhism sect. The temple complex has undergone several relocations due to fires and political changes.Originally founded by the monk Rennyo, Higashi Hongan-ji played a crucial role in the development of Pure Land Buddhism, emphasizing faith in Amida Buddha for salvation. The temple's architecture showcases intricate designs and cultural influences from different periods.Throughout history, Higashi Hongan-ji faced challenges, including conflicts with the Tokugawa shogunate. Despite these adversities, the temple stands as a testament to the resilience of Buddhist traditions in Japan. Today, it remains an important religious and cultural site, attracting visitors with its historical significance and architectural beauty.

The Qinglian Courtyard is small and exquisite, a typical pool spring return garden. The general order of visit is to take off your shoes and enter the inner room first, visit the corridor and the courtyard view in the order of sign, then return to the entrance to put on your shoes, walk down the stone steps, and walk outside the courtyard. It is also a place for new people to come to take wedding photos.

I booked the Katsura Rikyu I wanted to go to once and visited it. The garden was large and it was a garden that showed the whole thing full of the desire to entertain the people who came! There are many detailed plans to entertain the viewer, such as the distance to the calculated gate of a single tree at the end of the scenic fence spreading in the back of the ridge. It was very nice ♡

Please visit if you are in Osaka for cherry blossom! Many locals also come here. Do drop by the mall nearby. It may seem ordinary but the shops arent! You can easily spend half a day here!

乐天的静
Visiting this temple was one of my highlights in Tokyo. When you enter there is a lecture on Buddhism and the way cricket is played, and this temple is famous for that. It is the only one in Japan, but I was still fascinated by the way the monk told stories. Completely flat road, they don’t seem to attract many foreigners, but it’s definitely worth a visit. The garden outside is also a small gem.

Kyoto Miaoxin Temple meditation. The language is not available, so the big monk translates the scriptures into Japanese, the small monk translates Japanese into English, and we translate English into Chinese. A few rounds of translation, but everyone's actions are really decent. Inside view. Quit. Ding. Hui. Liu Run teacher Qiang.

Remember that the February hall on the mountainside has two large steps, one side is a stone road, relatively slow, the other side is a wooden step, very steep, the building and the composition of the mountain is very harmonious, up to overlook a long place.

The tenth generation of Mitsui family, Mitsui Gaodong, first moved the ancestral residence of Mitsui family, and then moved the family's residence in Kyoto, the villa with a habitat hall and wooden house, to the gate, the main building, the Wanglou, and then added a tea room and a porch. The original design of the Mitsui Yabuya is basically completed. The original architectural design was designed by Ishiro Sasaki, who designed the Ping An Shenyuan in the Ping An Shen Palace. (Please refer to the previous travel photography for details). After the war, it became nationalized with the dissolution of Mitsui chaebols, and was designated as an important cultural property in recent years and transferred to Kyoto City for renovation and open for visits. As a tourist attraction in Kyoto, it may not be too conspicuous, but what such ancient mansion buildings can impress is not gorgeous and dazzling, but the traces of years and the precipitation of history.
