General

I'd like to recommed you the following sightseeing spot in Osaka if you are planning to go round in the city.

[ Shitenno-ji Temple ]

This is the first state-established Buddhist temple in Japan featuring the Japan's oldest architectural style built by Prince Shotoku-taishi, a famous regent and statesman flourishing from 6th to 7th century.   The temple was dedicated to the Four Guardian Kings protecting Buddhism.

When I stood in the precincts  I felt solemn atmosphere and strong and earnest devotion of many people to him for long time.

He established the famous Seventeen-Article Constitution,known as the first written law of Japan whose principle of harmony through fair discussion is still very applicable today.

He is respected by many Japanese so that Japan's former ten thosand yen note used his portrait on it.

This temple is also protected by the scary Two Guardian Kings named "Nio" at its enterance gate

Many facilities in the central precinct and the garden of paradise are well worth appreciation.

The following picture shows the Garden of Paradise representing the world of Buddhist paradise that the old people imagined.

Kyoto

The tour includes five typical tourist destinations in Kyoto city. We will start with visiting Kiyomizudera Temple literally meaning "Pure water temple". It is the most popular sightsseing spot where you connot miss the panoramic view of the city from its huge stage jutting over a cliff. Many visitors drinking from the streams of pure water falls in the temple expect some divine blessings. From Kiyomizudera to Gion (classy Gasha district) there is best strolling course in which you can taste the flavor of traditional Kyoto while enjoying stone steps and stone pavement along many cozy and elegant shops,restaurants and old buildings. In the afternoon we will visit Nijyo Castle,the huge residence of the Tokugawa shoguns in Kyoto, who had been ruling Japan from 17th C to mid 19th C. It was adorned with lavish decorations to show off their absolute power. Next we will visit Kinkakuji Temple,well known as Golden Pavilion,is definitely must-see in Kyoto. The shining gold leaf covering three-story pavilion never fail to impress visitors with its breathtaking beauty. The last visit is Ryoanji Temple very famous for its mysterious rock garden. No one knows for certain when, why and by whom it was created. so it's up to everyone's interpretation. My guide fee is 50000yen / 8hours (up to 8 persons)
