Attractive spots in snowy Kyoto

2019-01-16 16:30:34 | kyoto
I would like to inform the spot that is attractive this time in snowy Kyoto.

In the Kyoto Basin of Kyoto-shi, 2 or 3 times snow are piled up in winter.
Time is a period from late January to the middle of February.

Snow often melt without being piled up even if it snows.
The place that seems to be able to watch snow covering in that is the area where a northern heap of Kyoto Basin approached.
Because a mountain approaches in this neighborhood, there is much snowy quantity to fall, and low temperature is prepared for the northern part, so snow is easy to be piled up.



The recommendation of the snow covering is Kinkaku-ji Temple, Ginkaku-ji Temple (Higashiyama Josho-ji).
In Kinkaku-ji Temple, a capital letter mountain approaches Mount Kinugasa, the north southwest.
In Ginkaku-ji Temple, a capital letter mountain approaches southeast, and both are the places where it is easy to snow.

Gold of Kinkaku-ji Temple and the white snow can appreciate the luxurious taste that felt downcast inside.



Wabi sabi of the Zen is transmitted through silver of Ginkaku-ji Temple and the white snow deeply.



Please go in the morning to watch snow covering because snow often melts at about 12:00 p.m. even if snow is piled up early in the morning from the middle of the night.

When you want to see Kyoto of the snow covering until the afternoon, I recommend to go to Kurama-dera temple.

Because around Kurama-dera temple is low in the temperature to be in the northeast mountains of the Kyoto Basin, on the day when it snowed, snow often stays until around the evening.

Kyoto is colder on the day when the snow falls, please do protection against the cold.
In addition, please do an action having the time allowance because a traffic jam occurs when it snows.

Look at snowy Kyoto without missing this time.

that’s it.

Shinsen-en which is a power spot in Kyoto


In Shinsen-en, the Heian period was located next to Heiankyo southeast.
Now, Shinsen-en is located in south area from Nijo Castle.
Shinsen-en is the park which has eight towns scale, and has a famous pond, where is considered as a secret pond.
Shinsen-en has a Hosei pond.
There is a Hosei bridge over this pond.

This bridge is a power spot.
When you walk over the bridge with only one wish,and throw coin for your wish to small shrine at end of this bridge.
Then your wish will be fulfilled.


At Kamakura period, Mr.Yoshitsune
visited this bridge,with one wish to get a victory for the battle to Heike.
He fullfiled the wish. This is the beginning of power spot in Kyoto.
This pond also has a legend with the place where Shizuka Gozen became acquainted with Yoshitsune.

I also put one wish and went across this bridge.
Is my wish fulfilled sure enough?
I recommend you to visit this Hosei bridge by JR.
JR Nijo station is west of this bridge, about 10 minutes walk.
