[Seifukuji Temple was founded in the Heian period (794-1185) by Kobo Daishi, who built a tsujido (temple hall) here and enshrined a Jizoson (a statue of the Ksitigarbha) that he had made himself. In 1983, Japanese-style painter Morimoto Yuzumi and his students dedicated a flower ceiling to the temple as a memorial service for the 1,150th anniversary of the death of Empress Danrin, a deity associated with Jizoson, which can be viewed from outside the main hall.

23. Make a wish on the colorful "kuri-monkeys" at Yasaka Koshindo (Yasaka Koshindo) that adorn the precincts of the temple / Yasaka

Yasaka Koshindo is one of the three most popular shrines in Japan and is also known as "Koshin-san. The main hall houses a statue of the three monkeys, "see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil," and is also famous for prayers such as the "konjaku kojaku kojaku" prayer, which seals out intractable diseases, and the "kocho kocho" prayer, which attracts lost items. It is a standard practice to take pictures of couples wearing kimonos. Before taking pictures, do not forget to pay your respects at the main hall.

Yasaka Koshindo Kukuri Monkey

The "kukuri-monkeys" that adorn the precincts of the temple represent monkeys tied to human greed, and it is said that if you make a wish and endure one of your desires, your wish will be granted.

24. Byodoin, a gorgeous and gorgeous temple reminiscent of the prosperity of the Heian period (794-1192) / Uji, Japan

In 1052, Yorimichi Fujiwara converted Uji-den, the villa of his father, Michinaga Fujiwara, into a Buddhist temple and founded Byodoin. At that time, the Pure Land faith, which prayed for rebirth in paradise, spread among aristocrats, Buddhist monks, and the general public, and the Amida Hall (now the Phoenix Hall) was built as a place of prayer. The main statue of Amida Nyorai, by Buddhist priest Teicho, is known as a masterpiece of Japanese-style sculpture. During the fall foliage season, the maple trees along the Aji-ike Pond in front of the Phoenix Hall change color, creating a beautiful scene.

Located in the nature-rich Uji-Tawara area, Shoju-in Temple is also called "Fu-ring-dera" (wind-bell temple) because it holds a wind-bell festival every summer.
