He underwent austere trainings and hardships in various parts of the country before returning to Kyoto to complete his work, "kyogyoshinsho", or The True teaching, Practice and Realization of the Pure Land Way on Buddhism. After his demise, his daughter erected a mausoleum at Higashiyama, Kyoto, which became the foundation of Nishi-Honganji Temple today. In the 16th century, it was moved to and re-established at the present location. (Teachings of the sect) Followers of this sect will be reborn in the Pure Land and attain Enlightenment.

Tour of Adashino-nenbutsu-ji Temple
Kyoto
4 hours
(History of the temple) According to what has been told by temple priests, the Reverend Kobo-daishi established a temple in this area and buried the remains of the deceased scattered around some 1,200 years ago. Afterwards, the temple was made the training hall for the Reverend Honen and now it belongs to the Jodo (Pure Land) - Shinsyu sect of Buddhism. In the middle of the Meiji period (1868 to 1911), the monuments of the dead, which had remained unattended for many hundred years, were collected and re-arranged by local volunteers in accordance with the Buddhist doctrine. (Highlights) Located in the edge of a local community and at the foot of a hill, this temple consisting of six structures and a large graveyard, looks like a mountain retreat. Serene, quiet atmosphere prevails and visitors voluntarily bow to the stone monuments to pay respect to the souls of those who passed away a long time ago. There are more than 8,000 stone monuments in the precincts which are the gravestones of those who were deserted in this area in olden times and there is the wooden statue of Amida-Nyorai Buddha sitting in silence in the "Hondo" main hall. At the time of "Sento-kuyo" Buddhist ritual on August 23rd and 24th each year, the entite temple compound is literally lit by a thousand candles and the scene created by the light, darkness and stone structures makes us feel as if the Pure Land had suddenly appeared before us. In the meantime, variou kinds of colorful lanterns are displayed in the nearby streets and vacant lots and a concert is held by a band of a local high school. The palce attracts a huge crowd of people both from around Kyoto and from abroard on these days. (How to enyoy) Just walk around the temple precincts and feel the solemn atmosphere. The place is especially recommendable on the days of "Sento-kuyo" ritual, when you can have a good time being in the "blazing sea" of candlelights and also seeing the variou shapes of lanterns. You can get in touch with the long-lived local tradition which has a different taste from the conventionalized summer pleasures represented by fireworks shows and noisy festivals. (Others) The entrance fee is 500 yen (but 1,000 yen on the days of "Sento-kuyo" ritual). The bus fare is 230 yen. (If you take a JR train, the fare is 240 yen.)

Tour of Heianjingu Shrine
Kyoto
3 hours
(Highlights) Heian Jingu Shrine has been and still is the face of Kyoto since 794. The magnificent shrine came into being when the restoration of Chodo-in, the main edifice of the capital city, Heian Capital Kyoto, was completed in 1895, exactly 1,100 years after the city was established by the 50th emperor of Japan, the Emperor Kammu. Citizens of Kyoto organized a body to deify the Emperor Komei, the 121st emperor, who turned out to be the last ruler of the capital, to honor his character as well as his great achievements who laid the foundation of modern Japan. As a result, the shrine was rebuilt in 1940 (the 2,600th year after the legendary Emperor Jimmu descended from the heaven) and has maintained the present grandeur since then. (How to enjoy) First, see the huge vermilion Torii-gate which is the entrance to the shrine marking off the sacred area. Next, have a look at the Daigokuden hall, which is the main worshipping hall and the place where the Shinto God is enshrined. Then, go into the "Shinen" sacred garden, where you will be met by various kinds of trees, plants, flowers, ponds, stepping stones, small bridges and stones for resting. There is also "Taiheikaku" ceremonial hall built above the largest pond. (Others) The admission fee of 500 yen will be charged if you wish to visit the "Shinen" sacred gardens.

Tour of Sanjyusangen-do Temple
Kyoto
2 hours 30 min
(Highlights) The 120-meter-long temple houses a total of 1,000 standing statues of "Kannon" (Goddess of mercy), her gigantic statue seated in the center of those images, two powerful and dynamic statues of "Fujin" Wind God and "Raijin" Thunder God at either side of the hall and 28 images of guardian deities protecting the "Kannon" deities and pious Buddhists who believe in her. The statues are made of Japanese cypress using the special technique . As there are thirty-three 2.5-meter-long spaces between the columns in the facade, the temple came to be called "Sanjyusangen-do" (a hall with 33 spaces between columns). (History) Officially called "Rengeo-in temple and designated as the National Treasure, it was originally established by the powerful warrior-politician Taira-no-Kiyomori in 1164. After the original temple building was burnt down 80 years later, the building was reconstructed in 1266 and it has remained unchanged to this day for some 700 years with four major renovations in that period. Among the 1,000 standing statues, 124 were made in the 12th century, when the temple was founded and the remaining 876, in the 13th century, when the temple was renovated. (How to enjoy) Walk on the corridor in the long hall seeing the statues, while smelling the delicate aroma of burning incense, and you will be amazed at the serene-looking faces of the images of "Kannon-sama". Just bring yourself to the mysterious and esoteric world of Buddhism. You will never end up not admiring the ancient sculpture-making technology and the enthusiasm of those who were engaged in the construction of the statues. I wish I could add the pictures of these magnificent images, but I can`t, since photo-taking is no allowed inside the hall. They tend to be ignored, but you cannot miss the two structures in the temple precincts: South Gate and roofed earthen fence both of which are connected with Regent Toyotomi Hideyoshi and reflect the aesthetics of the 16th century. (Others) The bus fare is 230 yen and the entrance fee is 600 yen.

Kyoto
3 hours 30 min
(Highlights) Originally built in 1482 by the eighth Shogun of the Muromachi Shogunate government, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, who spent his retirement days here, the temple is a Zen Buddhist temple belonging to the Shokokuji faction of Rinzaisyu sect of Buddhism, and is formally called Higashiyama- Jisyoji, named after his posthumous title. It is the place where Higashiyama Culture started after Kyoto was burnt down by an 11-year-long war between the two rival clans. The temple consists of 10 buildings, a garden, a pond, two wells and a lookout station, all of which forming a perfect combination of splendid man-made structures and the beautiful nature. (How to enjoy) After getting off the bus, go back a little bit and walk on the uphill road leading to the "Somon" gate, go through it and walk on the "Sando" approach of sand, on both side of which are hedges made of stones and bamboo and camellia trees, toward "Nakamon" middle gate, the main entrance to the magnificent courtyard. Once inside the temple precincts, walk on the paths in accordance with the directions. You will see all sorts components making up the beauty of Japanese gardens and structures standing among them.

Tour of Ryoanji Temple
Kyoto
3 hours 30 min
(History of the temple) Originally a country house of the powerful Tokudaiji Clan, it was acquired in 1450 by a high-ranking official of the Muromachi Shogunate government, Hosokawa Katsumoto, for use as a Zen training temple. Later, It was formally established as Ryoanji Temple by the head priest of nearby Myoshinji temple. It was burnt down during the "Onin" War (1467 to 1478), but rebuilt some 20 years later by Hosokawa`s son. It was again met by fire in 1797 and some of the buildings in the precincts were lost. The present main hall, "Hojo", was then transferred to the present location from another site of the temple. (Highlights) Along with the gardens, paths and a large pond amid the rich greenery, this temple is well-known for its rock garden called "Kare-sansui" consisting of no more than white gravel and 15 rocks, large and small. The rocks and sand are said to represent mountains and water, respectively, making a striking contrast to the concept of traditional Japanese gardens which emphasizes the beautiful combination of trees, rocks and pond. The rectangular garden, measuring 25 meters from east to west and 10 meters from north to south, is said to have been created by a highly respected Zen monk at around 1500. The meaning of this extremely symbolized rock garden is shrouded in mystery, leaving the interpretation to the imagination of visitors. The roofed earthen wall is also remarkable. It is made of clay boiled in rapeseed oil and its color has been subtly changed by the seeping of oil as time went by. (How to enjoy) No word is necessary. Just get inside the "Hojo" main hall, look around, sit down on the edge of the corridor and have a look at the "miracle garden". You can also enjoy strolling along the paths in the spacious compound and viewing the large pond as you walk, where a large flock of mandarin ducks were to be seen until quite recently . (Others) The bus fare is 460 yen on both ways and the entrance fee, 500 yen.

In the year of 888, Emperor Utada, taking over the wishes of his predecessors, completed the construction of the temple, which is now called the Temple of Ninnaji. After he resigned from his position, he became a priest and resided in this temple and underwent training under the doctrine of "Shingon-Mikkyo" esoteric Buddhism. Afterwards, head priests of this temple had been the members of the Imperial Family and it had been popularly called the "Omuro-Gosho" Imperial Palace until the Meiji Restoration of 1868. Designated as the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 1994, it is the "Sohonzan" head temple of the "Omuro" faction of the "Shingonshu" sect of Buddhism.
