Departing from Osaka, Kyoto
Mount Hiei
- Hieizan Enryakuji Temple has a history of more than 1,200 years and is known as the "Mother Mountain of Japanese Buddhism." Even today, monks continue to practice asceticism here.
- The Komponchudo Hall in the Tō-tō area enshrines Yakushi Nyorai and the Undying Dharma Lamp, which has been burning for a thousand years, symbolizing the continuation and power of faith.
- The sound of the Suikinkutsu in Amidado Hall is like heavenly music, and the crisp sound of water droplets makes people forget the hustle and bustle of the world.
- Hachimanbori in Omihachiman was prosperous due to water transportation, and the white-walled warehouses and slow-moving boats create a picture of the Edo period.
- This place has been used as a location for many period dramas, and walking around it feels like traveling back to a prosperous castle town of ancient merchants.
- The illuminated foliage at Chorin-ji Temple during the autumn foliage season creates a mysterious and tranquil beauty with the interwoven maple shadows and moss garden.
