Nanzen-ji-Saisho-in-Nanzenin!
Nanzenji Temple is the headquarters of the Nanzenji School of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism. The detached palace established by Emperor Kameyama for his mother, Omiyain, was converted into the temple in 1291. In 1334, it became the first in the ranking system of the Kyoto Gozan (five great Zen temples in Kyoto). Later, Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga ranked it the highest, even above the five temples.
The Hojo (main building, National Treasure) comprises Oo (Large)-hojo, (Seiryo-den) and Ko (Small)-hojo. Many of the wall paintings in these halls are designated as Important Cultural Assets. Sho-hojo has a room named Tora-no Ma (Room of Tigers) with Gunko Zu (Picture of Gathered Tigers, Important Cultural Asset), reportedly drawn by Tanyu Kano. The garden in front of Oo-hojo is a representative rock and sand garden reportedly made by Enshu Kobori, the design of which is famous as Tora-no-ko-watashi (a mother tiger trying to let her cubs cross a river).
The huge, Zen-style Sanmon Gate (Important Cultural Asset) was donated by Takatora Todo. From its top, you can enjoy a fine view of Kyoto City. In the southeast of the precinct stands the beautiful Suirokaku; a tall raised waterway made of bricks that is part of the Biwako-sosui canal.
The Garden of Grand Emperor Kameyama:
The Emperor Kameyama, who became a priest at a detached palace in 1289,became the Grand Emperor. He contributed the detached palace, which became a Zen temple. Daimin-kokushi was the first chief priest of it. This place is ruins of the detached palace and also the cradle of the Nanzen-ji Temple. The garden remains traces of its former shadows. This is the typical garden made at the end of the Kamakura Era, where you can walk around the ponds and springs here and there in the background of deep, green forests with profound and quiet elegance. The man who made this garden is said to be the Grand Emperor Kameyama. This garden is specified as one of the three scenic and historic spots in Kyoto City. It is on your left hand that you can see stone constructions of Takiguchi. The upper pond you can see is shaped as a form of a dragon, and is called Sogen-ike Pond, which has Horai-sima Island in the center of it. The down pond has an island whose shape is just like a Japanese letter, meaning heart. According to the records, when the garden was first built, cherry trees were transplanted from Yoshino, reeds from Namba, maple trees from Tatsuta, and even frogs were loosed off from Ide. The Hojo in the Nanzen-in Temple was rebuilt as a contribution from Keisho-in, i.e., the mother of the Shogun Tokugawa Tsunayoshi. The features of it lie at hinoki-zukuri (made of Japanese cypress) and Irimoya-zukuri (one of the typical Japanese carpenter rings) and kokera-buki (Japanese style roofs made of numerous, small tips of Japanese cypress). You can see the wooden statue of the Grand Emperor Kameyama (one of the Japanese treasures) in the center of the Naijin place. The pictures on the Fusumas (sliding doors) are black-and-white paintings by Kanoh Yohboku and hisson Nyokawa Zuisen. At the outskirts of the garden, you will find the Byoh (i.e., a Japanese type of a mausoleum), where the remains of the Grand Emperor Kameyama were buried according to his dying wishes.

平等院最勝院＠京都府宇治市
Saisho-in temple, Byodo-in temple
This temple was originally built in 998 in the Heian period as a rural villa of high-ranking courtier Minamoto no Shigenobu, Minister of the Left. The Phoenix Hall, completed in 1053, is the exemplar of Fujiwara Amida halls. It consists of a main rectangular structure flanked by two L-shaped wing corridors and a tail corridor, set at the edge of a large artificial pond.
Inside the Phoenix Hall, a single image of Amida (c. 1053) is installed on a high platform. The Amida sculpture is made of Japanese cypress and is covered with gold leaf. It was executed by Jōchō, who used a new canon of proportions and a new technique, yosegi, in which multiple pieces of wood are carved out like shells and joined from the inside. The statue measures about three meters high from its face to its knees, and is seated. Applied to the walls of the hall are small relief carvings of celestials, the host believed to have accompanied Amida when he descended from the Western Paradise to gather the souls of believers at the moment of death and transport them in lotus blossoms to Paradise. Raigō paintings on the wooden doors of the Phoenix Hall, depicting the Descent of the Amida Buddha, are an early example of Yamato-e, Japanese-style painting, and contain representations of the scenery around Kyoto.
平等院は、宇治市にある藤原氏ゆかりの寺院。平安時代後期・11世紀の建築、仏像、絵画、庭園等を今日に伝え、「古都京都の文化財」として世界遺産に登録されている。
飛鳥・奈良・平安前期に広まった仏教は、現世での救済を求めるものであった。平等院が創建された平安時代後期になると、釈尊の入滅から2000年目以降は仏法が廃れるという「末法思想」が広く信じられていた。天災人災が続いたため人々の不安は一層深まり、終末論的な思想として捉えられるようになり、この不安から逃れるための厭世的な思想として捉えられるようになる。
仏教も現世での救済から来世での救済に変わっていった。平等院が創建された永承7年（1052年）は、当時の思想ではまさに「末法」の元年に当たっており、当時の貴族は極楽往生を願い、西方極楽浄土の教主とされる阿弥陀如来を本尊とする仏堂を盛んに造営した。

Kosho-ji Temple (Kōshōji) was originally built in 1233 and at a different location in Kyoto. It wasn’t until 1648 that it was moved to its current location in Uji, by Nagai Noamasa. Belonging to the Soto Zen branch of Japanese Buddhism, Kosho-ji is famous for its Heian-period statue of Kannon. The other well-known attraction is its gorgeous maple approach, known as Kotozaka, that turns into a magnificent mix or red and yellow leaves in autumn.

The Temple of Good Fortune and Happiness: Manpuku-ji!
Manpuku-ji Temple was established by the Chinese Zen priest Ingen during the beginning of Edo Period. The temple retains its original appearance as when established. Since this is the main temple of the Obaku Sect, which was started by the famous Chinese priest, the precincts are designed in the Chinese style. Beyond the main temple gate are Chinese-style buildings, so that it seems to the visitor that he or she is in China. Also at Manpuku-ji Temple the visitor can enjoy Fucha-ryori (Buddhist vegetarian cuisine) and practice zazen and hand - copying of a sutra. Obaku is one of the three great Zen sects of Japan.

☆Bits of knowledge〜Yasaka shrine〜
The buildings at Yasaka Shrine date from 1654 and were built on the order of the shogun of the day, Tokugawa Ietsuna. The entrance gate, or Ro-mon, stands at the top of a flight of stairs and the shrine is protected by two guardian statues at each side.
The stone torii gate on the south side is 9.5 m (31 feet) in height - one of the largest in Japan, and dates from 1646. Two wooden koma-inu (lion dog guardians) in the shrine are said to have been carved by the celebrated sculptor Unkei, who also created many of the statues of the Kannon Buddha at Sanjusangendo Temple, in the 13th century.
Yasaka Jinja is dedicated to the Shinto deities Susano-o-no-Mikoto and his consort Inadahime-no-Mikoto.
The many lanterns advertising the sponsors of the Gion Matsuri hang from shrine buildings and make for a beautiful sight, especially at night.
Some of the huge floats used during the Gion Matsuri are stored on the shrine grounds.

A national treasure Of Japan and videos can never do these buildings justice. One needs to be here to really take in the immense beauty.
KYOTO - SANTUÁRIO HEIAN JINGU
Purificar as mãos e a alma, lançar uma moeda, bater palmas para chamar os Deuses e orar em recolhimento, abrir uma gabeta e tirar um papelinho da sorte, deixar um pedido numa plaquinha de madeira virado para o altar e trazer uma garrafinha de saquê sagrado.
Até podemos sair com menos moedas do que entrámos, mas vimos com certeza mais ricos.

興聖寺 宇治 京都 / Kosho-ji Temple Kyoto
興聖寺の名は、曹洞宗の開祖道元禅師が伏見深草に開いた由緒ある寺にちなみ、慶安元年（１６４８）淀城主永井尚政がそれを宇治の地に再興しました。
本堂は伏見城の遺材で造ったとも伝えられており、境内は禅寺にふさわしい威厳と静寂に満ちています。
また、山門に至る参道は琴坂と呼ばれ、紅葉の名所として知られています。
境内に安置されている平安時代後期の木造聖観音立像は、かつては源氏物語宇治十帖の古跡のひとつ、手習の杜に祀られたことから「手習観音」の呼び名で親しまれています。
