In evidenza

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 imperiale del Giappone per oltre mille anni, è una città di templi, giardini, case di legno e tradizioni raffinate.

La città custodisce molti dei luoghi più preziosi del Giappone. Le migliaia di portali torii vermigli del Fushimi Inari Taisha salgono su una montagna boscosa, il Padiglione d'Oro del Kinkaku-ji scintilla sul suo stagno e il palco di legno del Kiyomizu-dera sporge dal pendio sopra la città. Il giardino di roccia del Ryoan-ji e i terreni muschiosi del Ginkaku-ji invitano alla contemplazione silenziosa.

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