Points forts
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, capitale impériale du Japon pendant plus de mille ans, est une ville de temples, de jardins, de maisons de bois et de traditions raffinées.
La ville abrite bon nombre des sites les plus précieux du Japon. Les milliers de portiques torii vermillon du Fushimi Inari Taisha grimpent une montagne boisée, le Pavillon d'or du Kinkaku-ji miroite sur son étang, et la terrasse en bois du Kiyomizu-dera avance depuis le flanc de la colline au-dessus de la ville. Le jardin de rocaille du Ryoan-ji et les terrains moussus du Ginkaku-ji invitent à la contemplation tranquille.
Top-ranked sights in Kyoto: Fushimi Inari Shrine (Fushimi Inari Taisha), Kinkaku-ji (Golden Pavilion), Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
