－Itinerary introduction－

Kitano Tenmangu Shrine in Kyoto is dedicated to Kanwara Michizane (a real-life Japanese figure), a famous politician, scholar, and god of learning who was born in the aristocratic period of Japan's Heian period. Students often come to pay homage. You will see some bronze bull sculptures inside and outside Kitano Tenmangu Shrine. It is said that if you touch them, you will be a hundred times smarter. You can also pay a special visit to the main hall and taste the special "Daifukuume" that was originally only available on New Year's Day morning for free.

Kennin Temple With a history of 800 years, Kennin Temple is the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto. It was built in the 2nd year of Kennin (1202) and was named after the founding year of that time. Kenninji Temple is located near the noisy Gion, but the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere inside the temple is like another world compared to the bustling Gion, where you can calm down your noisy mood. There are many beautiful scenery scattered throughout the vast temple. Among them, the lifelike ceiling painting "Big Double Dragon Picture" in the Dharma Hall is the most famous and is one of the must-see attractions in Jianren Temple.

Daitokuji Zuihoin, located in Kyoto's Kita District, is a huge complex of temples and the main mountain of the Daitokuji school of Rinzai sect in Japanese Zen. Among them, Zuihoin's "Douzuo Ting" and "Xian Ming Ting" are more famous. This comprehensive temple is composed of 24 adjacent courtyards. It is the best place in Japan to view the rich and diverse Zen gardens and experience Zen culture and architectural style. When visiting Daitokuji Temple, you can enjoy delicious Daitokuji natto and delicious matcha, and have a Kyoto-style afternoon tea feast.
