#MarchGoodPlaces2025 Kyoto, Japan is a world-famous tourist resort city. Every day, thousands of tourists come here for sightseeing and vacation. There are many temple attractions in Kyoto. This time I will introduce a very famous temple attraction in Kyoto: Nison-in Temple. Official name: Kodaiji Temple, Kokurayama Niongoin. A famous temple located at the foot of Xiaocang Mountain, it is named after the two Buddha statues of Sakyamuni Buddha and Amitabha Tathagata enshrined in it. It was founded during the Johwa period by Master Jikaku at the behest of Emperor Saga. It is now a temple of the Tiantai sect. The temple grounds are vast and surrounded by magnificent natural scenery, and contain a variety of cultural assets including the main statue, which is an important cultural property. In addition to the statue of Honenjo, the site of Saigyo Hoshi's retreat, the tombs of Kyoto's famous families, and the statue of Ryoi Monkura, there are also the tomb of Bando Tsumasaburo and the monument to the origin of Kokura-an. It is too numerous to list them all. However, it is also a place where one can enjoy the experience even without that knowledge. Taking a leisurely stroll through the temple grounds while admiring seasonal flowers such as the Fugenzo cherry blossoms and autumn leaves will add a lot of color to the majestic temple and refresh your mood. A place where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and forget about time.
