This morning market is held every Sunday in Ohara.

It’s a small, local event where you can try breakfast foods loved by local people.

You can enjoy:

・Local handmade sushi rolls and bread

・Big sweet rice cakes (ohagi)

・Takoyaki with pickled shibazuke – a Kyoto-style surprise!

If you're lucky, you might also taste freshly-pounded mochi – warm, soft rice cakes made by hand. Seasonal fish as well.

There are two market spots, just a few minutes apart – so we’ll visit both!　

*The food at the market changes daily.

*Some items may not have allergy information labeled,so we kindly ask that guests with complex allergies reconsider joining.

The temple was first founded in the 8th century by Saichō, the monk who brought the Tendai sect of Buddhism to Japan.

It was built as a place for prayer and study for monks.

Later, it became one of the main temples of the Tendai school in the northern mountains of Kyoto.

Sanzen-in is famous for its beautiful moss garden, quiet atmosphere, and small stone statues that smile gently among the moss.

The temple is surrounded by tall cedars, and visitors can feel deep peace and harmony with nature.
