[Kyoto 0005FH] This is the perfect place for your first trip to Kyoto. From Kinkakuji Temple to Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine

It is of the Rinzai sect of Buddhism and was built by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in 1397 (Oei 4). Kinkakuji is a three-story building built in the Hogyo-zukuri style, which was burned down in arson in 1950 (Showa 25) and rebuilt in 1955 (Showa 30). The garden is a stroll-style garden with a pond (Special Place of Scenic Beauty and Special Historic Site), and on the highest point of the temple grounds is the Sekkatei teahouse, famous for its bush clover trellis and nandina alcove pillars.
In December 1994, it was registered as a World Heritage Site under the World Heritage Convention as one of the "Cultural Monuments of Ancient Kyoto."

The garden of Rokuon-ji Temple (Kinkaku-ji Temple) features a pond called Kyokochi with many floating islands of different sizes, which create a variety of different views depending on the viewing position. On the north side of the pond is Shariden (Kinkakuji Temple), and walking along the approach to the temple, you can see Ryumon Falls, Sekkatei, and other attractions.

The castle was constructed by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603 as a place to protect the Kyoto Imperial Palace and as a lodging for the Shogun when he traveled to Kyoto. The Ninomaru Palace, a National Treasure, is famous for being the place where Tokugawa Yoshinobu declared his intention to return power to the Emperor in 1867. The palace is a representative example of the Shoin-zukuri style of architecture from the early Edo period, and has many highlights, such as the sliding screen paintings by the Kano school. Ninomaru Garden, a National Place of Scenic Beauty, is said to have been renovated by Kobori Enshu and others in conjunction with the visit of Emperor Gomizunoo. The castle grounds can be enjoyed throughout the four seasons, with plum, cherry, azalea, camellia and autumn leaves.

Fushimi Inari Taisha, affectionately known as "Oinari-san," is the head shrine of the approximately 30,000 Inari shrines across Japan. Its history predates the capital's relocation to the Heian period, and it is said to have been founded in 711. It is said to bring good fortune in business prosperity and safety in the home, and is crowded with many worshippers throughout the year. As you walk through the grounds, you will encounter "foxes," messengers of Inari Okami, everywhere. In front of the tower gate, there is a statue of a fox with the symbols A and Un, holding a "jewel" on the right and a "key" on the left. There are also other statues holding scrolls and ears of rice, and they are dressed in a variety of different ways, so it's fun to walk around checking them out.
