※Le temple Otagi Nenbutsu-ji est fermé le mercredi et le samedi. Nous visiterons plutôt le temple Adashino Nenbutsu-ji. Le temple Otagi Nenbutsu-ji est un joyau paisible et moins connu, offrant une expérience unique et intime. Le temple est réputé pour sa collection de plus de 1200 statues en pierre, connues sous le nom de rakan, chacune avec des expressions faciales distinctes, créant une atmosphère décalée mais sereine. Les jardins sereins et l'environnement naturel créent un espace calme pour la contemplation, loin de l'agitation des endroits les plus fréquentés de Kyoto.
(Tous les mercredis et samedis) Le temple Adashino Nenbutsu-ji est un temple bouddhiste paisible situé dans le quartier de Sagano à Kyoto. Fondé en 811 par le moine Kūkai, il a été créé pour honorer ceux qui sont morts sans famille ni sépulture appropriée. L'enceinte du temple est remplie d'environ 8 000 statues en pierre commémorant ces âmes oubliées, créant une atmosphère profondément émouvante.
Saga Toriimoto Preserved Street est un sentier de randonnée historique qui mène de la base du mont Atago à son sommet, l'un des points culminants de Kyoto. Vous pourrez flâner dans un village traditionnel avec des maisons au toit de chaume, préservant la beauté authentique de l'ancien Japon
Faites une courte pause avec un verre servi (Café/Thé/Jus). ※Les autres boissons et menus, y compris le matcha, seront à vos frais.
Le temple Jojakko-ji est une retraite tranquille qui combine la nature, la spiritualité et une vue imprenable. Connu pour ses magnifiques jardins et son importance historique, ce temple offre une atmosphère paisible de réflexion et de connexion au patrimoine culturel de Kyoto. Au printemps, le temple est entouré de cerisiers en fleurs, tandis qu'en automne, des érables vibrants donnent de la couleur au paysage. Le temple est également un endroit merveilleux pour apprécier la beauté naturelle de Kyoto toute l'année.
Le sanctuaire de Mikami est un site unique et spirituellement significatif dédié à la beauté, en particulier les cheveux. Connu comme le sanctuaire des cheveux, il est vénéré pour son association avec les soins capillaires, et les visiteurs viennent souvent prier pour de beaux cheveux ou pour maintenir des cheveux en bonne santé. L'une des caractéristiques les plus distinctives du sanctuaire de Mikami est l'offre capillaire. Les visiteurs peuvent laisser de petites mèches de cheveux au sanctuaire, symbolisant leur désir de meilleurs cheveux. Le sanctuaire offre également des prières liées aux cheveux, où les fidèles recherchent des bénédictions pour la croissance ou la beauté des cheveux.
L'étang Ogura est niché au milieu d'une verdure luxuriante, offrant aux visiteurs une retraite paisible. Les eaux calmes reflètent les arbres et les montagnes environnantes, créant une scène pittoresque qui change avec les saisons, des verts frais du printemps aux couleurs ardentes de l'automne. L'étang est lié à l'Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, un célèbre recueil de 100 poèmes japonais classiques écrits par différents poètes. Le nom « Ogura » fait référence au poète Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, et l’étang est censé représenter la beauté spirituelle et l’inspiration poétique trouvées dans le paysage naturel de Kyoto.
(Photo Spot) La bambouseraie est l’un des endroits les plus photographiés de Kyoto, et pour cause. La hauteur des tiges de bambou, les courbes douces du chemin et la beauté naturelle qui vous entoure créent des occasions parfaites pour de superbes photos.
Le parc offre une vue imprenable sur les montagnes environnantes d'Arashiyama, avec sa verdure dense et son cadre paisible au bord de la rivière. Que vous vous promeniez le long de la rivière ou que vous vous détendiez dans le parc, les vues panoramiques créent une atmosphère sereine et apaisante. Avec des sentiers pédestres qui serpentent dans le parc et le long de la rivière Hozu, Arashiyama Park invite les visiteurs à se promener tranquillement, à profiter de l'atmosphère calme et à explorer les environs. Le parc est un endroit idéal pour profiter d'une promenade détendue ou même louer un vélo pour explorer plus de routes panoramiques.
Le pont Togetsukyo enjambe la rivière Hozu dans le pittoresque quartier d'Arashiyama. Connu pour ses vues majestueuses sur les montagnes et la rivière environnantes, ce pont séculaire est non seulement un passage fonctionnel mais aussi un symbole de la richesse culturelle et naturelle de Kyoto. Depuis le pont Togetsukyo, vous aurez droit à une vue imprenable sur la rivière Hozu, avec ses eaux cristallines serpentant dans la vallée. Les montagnes environnantes, en particulier les sommets de l'Arashiyama, offrent une toile de fond époustouflante, particulièrement en automne, lorsque le feuillage devient rouge et orange ardent. Au printemps, les cerisiers en fleurs le long de la rivière créent une scène tranquille et pittoresque.

Tour guide professional and informative. So much to see and learn about Kyoto. We had a great time. My suggestion is for you to come to Kyoto in Spring (Cherry Blossoms) or Autumn. Summer in Kyoto is hot and humid but if you’re someone who don’t mind the hot and humid weather, Japan is a must see country: history; culture; aesthetics, and so much more.

We visited 2 temples and each temple was quite impressive. Otagi Nenbutsu ji temple have 1,200 unique stone rakan statues (disciples of Buddha), each carved with a different expression—some humorous, some serene. Jyo Jakko ji temple have a beautiful moss gardens, bamboo forests and views over Kyoto city from its hillside location. Overall Oku-Saga has a calm, rural atmosphere with narrow lanes, old houses, small temples, and rice fields.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're delighted to hear it was great tour experience for you！ We hope you or your friends can return soon again for another adventure with us! Thank you again.
