[Kyoto] Visit a tranquil and vibrant temple

Shojuin Temple is a temple of Koyasan Shingon Buddhism located in Ujitawara-cho, Kyoto. The highlight is the inome window in each hall of Shojuin. It is said to bring happiness because the inome shape resembles a heart. Another highlight is that the ceiling is filled with 160 paintings by Japan's leading calligraphers and painters, and each hall is very vividly colored. In the summer, there is a wind chime festival where 2,000 wind chimes are decorated, and the temple located in a place rich in nature becomes a more gorgeous Japanese landscape, which is one of the pleasures of summer 🎐 📍Shojuin 149 Okuyamada Kawakami, Ujitawara-cho, Tsuzuki-gun, Kyoto Prefecture 🕰️Visiting hours 9:30am - 4:30pm #Absolutely free trip #Kyoto #Shojuin
