A utopia in Arashiyama illuminated by the transmitted light that pierces through the autumn foliage [...
A temple related to Kukai, the founder of Esoteric Buddhism in Japan, which cannot be left out when discussing the history of Buddhism in Japan. Enshrined in the main hall is the Yakushi Nyorai statue, the second national treasure in Japan. It is always open to the public in the main hall, and is a valuable national treasure Buddha statue that you can see at any time. As the chief priest says, "I want you to sharpen your five senses and feel it," the sense of sight is the beautiful autumn leaves, the sense of hearing is the chirping of birds and the murmuring of the river, the sense of smell is the smell of the fresh green mountains, the sense of taste is green tea and sweets, and the sense of touch is the approach to the shrine. The atmosphere you feel when you climb the mountain and pass through the temple gate to enter the precincts. I want to purify my body and mind by feeling the sacred place where Kukai founded Heian Buddhism.
