This temple is mainly for a residence for the royal family of priests so they invited the VIPs there.<br \/>\nOver 1,000 years, a member of the Imperial Family used to serve as its priest, which makes the temple a prestigious temple in Japan.  The chrysanthemum crest, the authority of the Kamon of the imperial family, and the cherry blossoms crest, the authority of the Kamon of the Ninnaji are seen everywhere in Ninnaji. Built in the style of an imperial palace, you can experience the landscape of Kyoto in the 9-10 century.<\/p>\n<p>\u3010Information\u3011<br \/>\nAddress:<br \/>\n33 Omuroouchi, Ukyo Ku, Kyoto 616-8092<br \/>\nAccess:<br \/>\n\u30fbA short walk from \u201cArashiyama Tenryuji mae\u201d Bus Stop on the City Bus #11,28,93 at Kyoto Sta.<br \/>\nTime:<br \/>\n9:00~16:30 (March to November\uff09<br \/>\n9:00~16:00 (December to February\uff09<br \/>\nAdmission Fee:<br \/>\n\uff1cPalace &amp; Gardens\uff1e<br \/>\n500 yen\uff08Older than 15-year old\uff09300\u5186\uff086-15 years old\uff09<br \/>\n\uff1cReiho-kan Museum\uff1e<br \/>\n500 yen\uff08Older than 18-year old\uff09300\u5186\uff0812-17 years old\uff09<br \/>\n*Admission limited to April &#8211; May, and Oct. &#8211; Nov.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5b\" id=\"worldheritage12\">Ryoanji Temple<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kyonaka-gozan.kyoto\/media\/koi\/sites\/10\/20200507-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"567\" height=\"425\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3346\" \/><br \/>\nRyoanji Temple belongs to the Myoshinji school of the Rinzai branch of Zen Buddhism in 1450. The temple is famous for its dry- landscape, the Rock Garden of Ryoanji, and it is designated as a special scenic beauty. Placed within the garden are fifteen stones of different sizes, carefully composed in five groups; one group of five stones, two groups of three, and two groups of two stones. Interpretations are left up to each viewer. Interestingly, though the garden is so popular and famous, the facts are less certain. No one knows when the garden was constructed, who made, and the meaning of the garden. Some said that the garden represents the common theme of a tiger carrying cubs across a river, while others claim that the zen concept like infinity.  An interesting feature of the garden&#8217;s design is that from any vantage point at least one of the rocks is always hidden from the viewer.<\/p>\n<p>\u3010Information\u3011<br \/>\nAddress:<br \/>\n33 Omuroouchi, Ukyo Ku, Kyoto 616-8092<br \/>\nAccess:<br \/>\n\u30fbA short walk from \u201cArashiyama Tenryuji mae\u201d Bus Stop on the City Bus #11,28,93 at Kyoto Sta.<br \/>\nTime:<br \/>\n9:00~16:30 (March to November\uff09<br \/>\n9:00~16:00 (December to February\uff09<br \/>\nAdmission Fee:<br \/>\n\uff1cPalace &amp; Gardens\uff1e<br \/>\n500 yen\uff08Older than 15-year old\uff09300\u5186\uff086-15 years old\uff09<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"style5b\" id=\"worldheritage6\">Kinkakuji Temple<\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/kyonaka-gozan.kyoto\/media\/koi\/sites\/10\/20200507-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"567\" height=\"377\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3347\" \/><br \/>\nThe Golden Pavilion Temple, also called Kinkakuji in Japanese, was built in 1397. It was initially made to serve as a villa for retirement for Shogun Ashikaga. It was quite later that his son converted the building into a Zen temple according to his will. Even though the Kinkakuji Temple was burned down in 1950 when a monk set fire to the temple, it is the attracting building to remain the extravagant Kitayama culture that developed in the wealthy aristocratic circles of Kyoto at that time. The golden temple is surrounded by a beautiful garden with a pond in the front called the Mirror Pond, which is designated as a National Scenic beauty.<\/p>\n<p>\u3010Information\u3011<br \/>\nAddress:<br \/>\n1 Kinkakuji Cho, Kita Ku, Kyoto, 603-8361<br \/>\nAccess:<br \/>\n\u30fbA short walk from \u201cKinkakuji-do\u201d Bus Stop on the City Bus #12,59,205, M1, 101,102, 111, MN205 at Kyoto Sta.<br \/>\nTime:<br \/>\n9:00~17:00<br \/>\nAdmission Fee:<br \/>\n400 yen\uff08Older than 15-year old\uff09300\u5186\uff086-15 years old\uff09<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"style4a\">Do you need more information?<\/h4>\n<p>You should receive such local information of Kyoto by an application &#8220;KoI APP&#8221;.<br \/>\nWith this application, even if you don\u2019t have Wi-Fi, you can find nearby stores and so on.<br \/>\nYou can install the application from the following URL.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=kyoto.kyonaka_gozan.koiapp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Android app\u300cKoI Service\u300d<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/koi-service\/id1433855051?l=ja&amp;ls=1&amp;mt=8\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>iPhone app\u300cKoI Service\u300d<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We have been introducing the series of the list of Kyoto UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
