Highlights

Visitors to Kyoto quickly realize how crowded the city’s famous temples are. This tour is unique in offering the opportunity to visit a major yet quiet, uncrowded Buddhist temple complex, featuring the largest wooden building in the world. The temple is popularly known as Higashi Honganji and is located within easy walking distance of Kyoto Station. Your guide, a twenty-five year resident of Japan, is American-born Buddhist priest and scholar Rev. Dr. Brian Victoria. Dr. Victoria will introduce you to the fascinating history of this temple together with the doctrines and iconography of the True Pure Land sect of Buddhism with which it is affiliated. Following your visit to Higashi Honganji, the tour moves to nearby Shosei-en, a large, temple-affiliated, traditional Japanese garden, complete with ponds and tea houses. Dr. Victoria will explain the history of Japanese gardens and tea houses as well as answer any questions you may have about Buddhist beliefs and practices in general.

About Kyoto

Kyoto, über tausend Jahre Japans Kaiserstadt, ist eine Stadt der Tempel, Gärten, Holzhäuser und verfeinerten Traditionen.

Die Stadt beherbergt viele der kostbarsten Stätten Japans. Tausende zinnoberrote Torii-Tore des Fushimi Inari Taisha steigen einen bewaldeten Berg hinauf, der Goldene Pavillon des Kinkaku-ji schimmert über seinem Teich, und die hölzerne Bühne des Kiyomizu-dera ragt aus dem Hang über der Stadt. Der Felsengarten des Ryoan-ji und das moosbewachsene Gelände des Ginkaku-ji laden zur stillen Betrachtung ein.

Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
