A temple with a Joya no Kane in Kyoto <\/h5>\n Rakuhoku <\/h5>\n
There is no numbered ticket, no limit on the number of times, and no worship fee, but access is the biggest bottleneck because it is far from the city. Even if you can go to the site, you will not be able to come back … It may happen, so it is recommended for those who have a means of transportation such as a private car.<\/p>\n
Kurama-dera <\/h4>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyonaka-gozan.kyoto\/media\/koi\/sites\/10\/20201216-1.jpg\")
\nKurama-dera Temple is popular for its mysterious mountains protected by tengu, and worshipers can visit it more than 108 times.
\nHowever, there is no extension of the last train of Eizan Electric Railway or overnight driving, and there is no parking lot at Kurama-dera.
\nSince you will have to take a taxi or use the nearby parking lot (near the Sanmon) to worship, there are many locals who say “by all means at Kurama-dera” for the Joya no Kane.<\/p>\n

\nJoya no Kane, known as NHK’s “Old Year, New Year,” is the tone of the Obonsho bell at Chion-in, Kyoto.
\nThe Obonsho, which is about 3.3m high and weighs about 70t, is one of the largest in Japan. The way the bells are attached is also unique, with 17 monks holding each rope and calling out with 16 child ropes per parent rope. The acrobatic appearance of a priest with a parent rope is popular because he turns his back to the bell side and falls to the back to make a friendly hit.<\/p>\n
You can only visit, but Chion-in’s Joya no Kane is so popular that visitors from all over the country come every year.
\nIt is said that it is good to adjust the line-up time according to the time you want to hear the Joya no Kane, and those who want to hear the start of the Joya no Kane at 22:40 will line up from around 19:00.
\nIf you want to hear the Joya no Kane at the same time as the date changes, we recommend that you line up around 22:30.
\nPlease note that after 22:00, you will be gradually informed that you may not be able to enter.<\/p>\n
