Discover a Quiet and Peaceful side of Kyoto






Location
You can see wild boar statues in place of the usual guardian dogs, a boar-themed purification fountain, and boar figures scattered throughout the shrine grounds.




Location
Jonangu Shrine features a sacred garden known as “Rakusuien,” where visitors can enjoy flowers that bloom throughout the seasons.
The garden includes the flowers and trees depicted in *The Tale of Genji*, earning it the nickname “The *Tale of Genji* Flower Garden.”
It is also known as the “Heian Garden” and serves as the venue for the famous *Kyokusui no En* (Winding Stream Banquet).





Location
Jonangu Shrine, located in Fushimi Ward, Kyoto City, was founded at the time of the capital’s relocation to Heian-kyo and boasts a history spanning 1,200 years.
It is revered as a major shrine for protection against directional misfortune.
The shrine is famous for the “Kyokusui no En” (Winding Stream Banquet) ceremony held in its garden, which recreates a pastime of Heian-period aristocrats; the event revives an elegant tradition where participants float sake cups down a small stream, compose *waka* poetry, and partake of the sake.






Location
Despite its location in the city, Tennei-ji is a tranquil temple; its main gate is known as the “Picture Frame Gate,” as Mount Hiei, viewed through the opening, appears as if it were set within a frame—a truly beautiful sight.
