    3) Ryōan-ji (竜安寺)🪨🌸

    Just across the road from our Garden Teahouse (and office) is Japan's most famous zen garden...a riddle written in gravel and rocks.
    Intended to focus the mind, over the years many have tried to unravel the garden's meaning.

      4) Tō-ji (東寺)📿🌸

      As old as Kyōto, Tō-ji ('East Temple') sits in the same place it has occupied for 1200 years, though its grounds have been vastly reduced.
      Originally called Kyō-ō-Gokoku-ji (教王護国寺), the temple acted as guardian of the new capital (Heian-kyō 平安京).

        @camelliakyoto

        You can't really understand this garden without the context : just out of sight, around the corner, is an extremely lush, green garden.

          A whirlwind tour of some well-known Kyōto spots we've talked about before, this time with added cherry blossoms🙌

          on one road
          all the way to Kyōto-
          blossom-viewing hats
          京迄は一筋道ぞ花見笠
          -Kobayashi Issa, 1822.

          @camelliakyoto Are there cherries later in the season? Nobody ever mentions cherries.

            Tō-ji's 5-storied pagoda is 54.8m high, making it the tallest wooden tower in Japan. The original burnt down in 1055, and after rebuilding it was destroyed three more times.
            The temple's current pagoda was funded by Shōgun Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光) in 1644.

              5) Taizō-in (退蔵院)🐟🌸

              Taizō-in is the oldest of Myōshin-ji's sub-temples.
              During the spring its great weeping cherry, reaching over the 'Inyō-no-niwa' (陰陽の庭 'Garden of Yin & Yang'), acts like a giant pink parasol...falling petals adding colour to the raked gravel.

                6) The Incline🛤️🌸

                Keage (蹴上 lit. 'rise' or 'riser') is one of the most popular places to see cherry blossoms in Kyōto. It was here that boats were carried a short distance by rail down a steep incline from the Lake Biwa Canal (琵琶湖疏水) into the city's canal network.

                  During spring traditional flat-bottomed boats called Jukkoku-bune (十石舟) ply the waters of the Okazaki Canal.
                  400 cherry trees line the one & a half km stretch of waterway between the Lake Biwako Canal Museum (琵琶湖疎水記念館) & Ebisu-gawa Dam (夷川ダム).

                    😎 Fushimi Castle (伏見城)🏯🌸

                    Fushimi-jō (伏見城), known also as Momoyama Castle (桃山城), was built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi between 1592-94 as his retirement base.
                    Stripped & dismantled by the Tokugawa from 1623, a replica (now closed) was built in 1964 as part of "Castle Land".

                      9) Kurama👺🐯

                      Mt Kurama was once famed for its cherry trees, though very few remain nowadays.
                      In Heian times the nobility would make the long trek to see the blossoms, and followers of Jōdo-shū nicknamed it the 'Pure Land North of the Capital' (洛北浄土)🌸

                        The Path of Philosophy (哲学の道) runs between Nanzen-ji (南禅寺) and Ginkaku-ji (銀閣寺). It came to prominence after the philosophers and Kyōto University professors Nishida Kitarō (西田幾多郎 1870-1945) and Tanabe Hajime (田辺元 1885-1962) used the trail as an exercise route

                          The temple is known for its 'Oeshiki-zakura' (御会式桜 'Memorial to Nichiren Sakura'), a tree that appeared to miraculously bloom of the 13th day of the 10th month, the anniversary of Nichiren's (日蓮 1222-82) death. In reality it is a long blooming type.
