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 Kioto

Kioto, capital imperial de Japón durante más de mil años, es una ciudad de templos, jardines, casas de madera y tradiciones refinadas.

La ciudad guarda muchos de los lugares más apreciados de Japón. Los miles de pórticos torii bermellón del Fushimi Inari Taisha ascienden por una montaña boscosa, el Pabellón Dorado del Kinkaku-ji reluce sobre su estanque y la plataforma de madera del Kiyomizu-dera sobresale de la ladera sobre la ciudad. El jardín de rocas del Ryoan-ji y los terrenos cubiertos de musgo del Ginkaku-ji invitan a la contemplación tranquila.

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