📍Shojuin, Kyoto This temple is famous for its photogenic "flower ceiling paintings" that cover the ceiling with 160 paintings, and the "heart-shaped inome window" in the reception hall. A line was formed to take a photo with the inome window. (The photo was taken by the person behind me.) It is also known as the "wind chime temple" that holds the wind chime festival every summer. This year, the wind chime festival will start in June 🎐 "Wind Chime Festival 2024" Saturday, June 1st to Monday, September 30th, 2024 *The wind chime festival is held every year from June to mid-September About 2,000 colorful wind chimes are displayed in the temple grounds, soothing both the eyes and the ears. 🌈✨ Ujitawara-cho, where Shoju-in Temple is located, is about 5℃ cooler than Kyoto city, making it the perfect place for sightseeing in Kyoto in the summer🫶 It is said that the idea was to hang wind chimes so that people could feel cool with the five human senses, "eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and body," not just the temperature, but also the appearance and sound of the wind chimes, and that since wind chimes have long been believed to ward off evil, they were also hung in the hope of inspiring people to ward off evil, as was the case with Kannon, the principal deity of the temple🎐 "Eyes" See local wind chimes from all over Japan "Ears" Hear the sound of the wind chimes "Nose" Enjoy the scent of nature and tea fields "Tongue" Taste authentic tea in the town of tea "Body" Wind chime painting experience Local wind chimes from all 47 prefectures across Japan are also on display🤍 　　:☽ My excitement 𝐏𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 🫶💛🧡 　☑︎ Over 2,000 colorful wind chimes☑ Photogenic heart-shaped window ☑ Comes with cute cookies original to Shojuin ☑ Wide variety of Goshuin stamps (5 types) ↑ I've also included the Goshuin stamp I got the last time I went. .※It's about an hour's drive from Kyoto Station and is in the mountains, so it's a little inconvenient to access🚗 The parking lot gets crowded on weekends, so they sometimes hand out numbered tickets! (We went around 10am on a Sunday and were able to park smoothly, but if you're going on the weekend, be careful⚠️) Add some excitement to your daily life:🌙 📍 Shojuin (Fuurin Temple) 📮 149 Okuyamada Kawakami, Ujitawara-cho, Tsuzuku-gun, Kyoto Prefecture🅿️ About 60 cars Free (2 locations) 🕘 9:00-16:30👛 800 yen with tea and sweets (during the Wind Chime Festival) #Kinki Tourism #Scenic Spots #Kyoto #Kyoto Tourism #Kyoto Trip #Photogenic Spots

The birthplace of green tea, Uji-Tawara, is home to Shoujuin. This temple, true to Kyoto's character, has a history of 800 years and is also known as the Wind Chime Temple. Shoujuin, however, has a cute spot that is also recommended for girls' trips! It's the guest hall with heart-shaped boar's eye windows called 'Sokuten no Ma' 🩵 Boar's eye (inome) is one of the traditional Japanese patterns that has been used for about 1,400 years in the architectural decorations of temples and shrines. Additionally, there are 160 ceiling paintings, which are also cute 🩷 The temple staff even suggest lying down to look at them, and it was truly breathtaking when I did ✨ Access might be a bit difficult, but it's definitely a spot worth visiting.
