[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Shisendō Temple (Updated May)

Shisendo Temple stands in silence 🌿 The nearest stations are Ichijoji Station on the Eizan Electric Railway or the Kyoto City Bus Kyoto Zokei Geijutsu Daigaku-mae stop, but both are about a 15-minute walk away, so access is a little inconvenient. The beautifully maintained garden is wonderful, and I was able to relax and enjoy the trees and flowers 😉 The sunlight filtering through the trees was very pleasant, with so much greenery! And if you go all the way to the back, you will find some adorable Jizo statues waiting for you🙏 Just looking at their smiling faces gives you a sense of peace and healing✨ Admission fee: 500 yen Opening hours: 9:00-17:00 (closed May 23rd) Visit period: June 2020 #KyotoTourism #DomesticTravel #Kyoto #KyotoCity #KyotoTrip #Temple #Shisen-do #Jozan-ji Temple #Jizo Statue #Jizo Statue #AutumnFoliage #GreenFoliage #GreenAutumnFoliage

●Name Shisendo ●Access 27 Ichijoji Monguchi-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 🚗Use nearby parking ●Points Do you know the official name of Shisendo? The name is Ototsuka The reason is that it was built on uneven ground😅 It is a great spot for viewing autumn leaves, and the garden and the interweaving of light and shadow are beautiful Even on rainy days, it is a popular temple with a charming atmosphere It seems to have come to be called Shisendo because it has a Shisen-no-ma room that displays the "Chinese Thirty-six Immortal Poets" by Kano Tan'yu It is still too early for the leaves to change color, but I am looking forward to the autumn leaves The best time to see autumn leaves in Kyoto will be from around November 20th to 25th🍁 #AutumnTravel #AutumnLeafSpots

#Get a discount without relying on luck Shisendo Temple is roughly divided into 4 parts: The outer entrance, the courtyard in front of the temple, inside the building and the area behind the building There are 2 gardens in total: a Chinese-influenced Zen-style rock garden which is the main garden of the building and a walking garden at the back which was expanded after the Joseon era when it was transformed from a residence into a Soto sect Zen temple When walking up the hill into the mountain area A small door that is just the right size hidden among the trees makes us have to bend down a little to enter the temple Therefore, it feels like welcoming visitors with a door like a tea room that is considered a connection point between the peaceful inner world and the outside world In the same way, it is also a trick for visitors to bend down to show the symbolic meaning according to the art of tea making, which is to abandon oneself equally and show respect for what is inside

#GetDiscountWithoutLuck Shisendo Temple is a Zen Buddhist temple located in the northern part of Kyoto. The highlight of this temple is the red leaf viewing terrace and the Zen-style Japanese garden When you walk through the inner gate, you will see the main building which is not very large. The floor of the main building is covered with tatami mats. There is a person sitting at the door selling tickets We can walk in and down to see the garden It is a small temple but the garden is very shady. The leaves are beautiful bright colors, green, yellow, orange, red How to get there: Take bus number 5 from Bus Stop at Kyoto Station - destination Ichijoji Station Sagarimatsucho From the station, walk to the temple another 450 meters ------------------------------------------- #kyoto #autumn #japantrip #kyotoautumn #kansai #traveljapanbyyourself #autumnleaves #kyoto #traveltokyo #thickeyebrows -------------------------------------------

#Kyoto Itinerary There are many famous scenic spots in the Rakuhoku area of ​​Kyoto. As it is the autumn leaf season, we decided to take a half-day tour around Enkoji Temple. The distance you need to walk to reach Enkoji Temple is relatively short compared to taking the bus, so it is recommended to leave early in the morning to avoid the crowds. Yuankoji Temple has always been a famous autumn leaf viewing spot in northern Ryokan. It is a temple of the Nanzenji sect of the Rinzai sect founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1601. There are many attractions in Enkoji Temple: the dry landscape of the "Benlong Rock Garden", the maple leaves of the "Ten Oxen Garden", the "Suikkotsu" with the sound of water in the bamboo tube, and the oldest wooden printing type set in Japan collected in the "Zuiunkaku". In particular, the view of the garden from the main hall and the academy is like a beautiful painting, which is suitable for taking some time to sit down and slowly appreciate. There is an "Autumn Special Viewing" every autumn during the red leaf season. Please check the official website of Enkoji Temple for the specific time. During the special visit period, you may need to make an appointment on the official website and enter the temple with an email confirmation letter. Shisen-do is about 100 meters away from Yuanguang Temple and can be reached in 1 or 2 minutes on foot. This is the mountain villa built by Ishikawa Jozan, a retainer of the Tokugawa family in the Edo period, for his seclusion. It is now a temple of the Soto sect of Buddhism, also known as "Jozanji Temple." The name comes from the fact that the walls of the "Poetry Hall" in the west of the main hall are hung with portraits of 36 Chinese poets. The temple is not very big and the garden is very quiet. There are relatively few restaurants around, so for lunch you can take a short walk to Ichijoji Station. For the afternoon itinerary, you can take a bus in about 30 minutes to the Philosopher's Path, Ginkaku-ji Temple, or the famous maple viewing spots Eikan-do or Nanzen-ji Temple.

There are so many places to see autumn leaves in Kyoto that it's hard to go around! I have to tell you the most popular places...but if you do, it's always crowded, right? I recommend this place for those who want to enjoy autumn leaves in Kyoto even if it's not the most popular💡 This time, I'd like to introduce "Shisendo (Jozanji Temple)" located in the northeast area from Kyoto Station. It's a place that is hard to visit for a short Kyoto autumn foliage tour, and it's a hidden autumn foliage spot that is less crowded than other spots🍁There are red and orange autumn leaves such as maples and maples, but there are also yellow leaves mixed in, and the green of the plants is lush, so the stunning contrast is very vivid, gorgeous, and beautiful😍 🌟In fact, it is the birthplace of the shishiodoshi in Japan🌟There is a shishiodoshi in the garden, but it is not well known, but the first shishiodoshi in Japan was made here at Shisendo House. Listen carefully and be soothed by the sound of the shishiodoshi echoing in the garden🥰 That's all! What do you think! I think you can enjoy the contrast more than other autumn foliage spots, so please do go there! And here's an added bonus! There is an autumn foliage spot nearby called Enkoji Temple! It's a place that requires reservations! The scenery is truly beautiful, so please go there together! A famous spot for the spectacular autumn foliage captured in a picture frame 👈~ ...

#KyotoTourism #Japan #AmazingView #AutumnTrip A top recommendation among the autumn foliage spots in Kyoto! This temple is a hidden gem that does not require reservations and does not require long lines. You can sit back and enjoy the autumn leaves 🍁. I missed the view I saw once, so I went to see it again the following year. Unfortunately, it rained for two years in a row, but I was still able to heal my soul in the moist atmosphere! The location is away from the downtown area, but it is easy to get there by bus or train. It's about a 15-minute walk, but there is a shop called Ichijoji Nakatani on the way, which is also a good place to stop by. They sell cakes and Japanese sweets, and you can also eat there. There were many customers, and it seemed to be a popular shop! I had the Obanzai set meal and bought a cake as a souvenir. I was very satisfied with both the taste and the appearance! How to get there: Kyoto City Bus, Keihan Railway, etc.

When I finished the photo, I suddenly found the image of the poultry house in Shixiantang and the face of a naughty and poetic poet. It was very interesting. Poetry Hall was built in 1641 and is a mountain retreat of famous scholars and poets. "Poetry Hall" means "the temple of the immortal poet", and the location of the temple is known for its tranquility. Visitors to the temple can experience the tranquility and simplicity of the past years. The inner wall of Shixiantang Building is decorated with brushstroke poems and exquisite portraits of 36 ancient Chinese poets. Seen from the study, it is a picturesque garden with shrubs and maple trees on the ground covered with white sand. Address: 27th place, Ichima-jima-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City Visit Time: 9
