- Attraction Introduction -

• Katsuo Temple: Pray for victory and strengthen your fortune. Visit Katsuo-ji Temple, known as the "Temple of Victory," a sacred place for prayers for good luck and success, boasting over 1,300 years of history. You can personally paint eyes on a blank Daruma statue: first, paint the left eye and make a wish. Once your wish is fulfilled, paint the right eye, fulfilling a pact with the gods and enhancing your fortune.
• Arashiyama: A Secret Place Where Nature and Culture Intertwine. Strolling through the area, you'll be captivated by the picturesque scenery: the clear waterfront, tranquil bamboo forests, and distant green mountains interweave to create a natural canvas. Standing on Arashiyama's Togetsukyo Bridge, gazing at the gently flowing Oie River beneath your feet, framed by distant mountains, you'll feel like stepping back into the elegance of bygone Japan. Walking through the bamboo paths, listening to the rustling of leaves as sunlight filters through the cracks, the air filled with the delicate fragrance of bamboo, it's like stepping into another world. Stepping into the Kimono Forest, hundreds of columns draped in vibrant, exquisite kimonos create a flowing Japanese art gallery. Visit Nonomiya Shrine, a sacred place for praying for good love, health, and happiness, and hang an ema (ema) on which you can write your wishes, hoping for sweet love and a fulfilling life.
• Kinkaku-ji Temple: A Quiet Moment Amidst Golden Splendor. Kinkaku-ji Temple, officially known as Rokuon-ji Temple, is a World Heritage Site and one of Kyoto's most iconic attractions. The temple's core building, the Shariden, is covered entirely in gold leaf. The shimmering brilliance shines brightly in the sunlight, creating a dazzling backdrop against the surrounding Mirror Lake, creating a dreamlike scene. Every plant, tree, brick, and tile here embodies the Japanese people's ultimate pursuit of nature and beauty. Strolling through the Kinkaku-ji grounds, you can admire the meticulously manicured landscape and experience the unique charm of traditional Japanese garden art.

These colorful little Daruma with different expressions in Katsuoji Temple are enshrined here by people who come to pray after making their wishes.

Bodhidharma statues can be seen everywhere in the temple, either hanging on treetops or hidden in the grass.

You can choose a Daruma doll, write down your wish, and experience the culture of praying (at your own expense).

The Golden Pavilion Temple, with its outer walls shining with gold foil and reflected in the Mirror Lake, is a breathtaking sight.

A phoenix stands on the top of the Kinkaku-ji Temple, echoing the temple's magnificent golden appearance. Under the sunlight, it shines brightly, adding to the splendor and solemnity of the Kinkaku-ji Temple.
