Light music, relax music,
Welcome back! Today we will go to Kyoto’s popular attraction: Arashiyama. When talking about Arashiyama, everyone’s impression is of the beautiful red leaves in autumn, the cherry blossoms blooming in spring, and the scene of crowds of tourists. How to avoid tourists and take a leisurely walk in Arashiyama?
In this episode we tell you a secret walking route that only those in Kyoto know. Follow us to enjoy the different scenery of Arashiyama! Walk forward along the road. Wait. Is this really Arashiyama? We are in Arashiyama, and the area to which Arashiyama belongs is Sagano. Lots of vegetable baskets.
This is an unmanned sales station. Vegetable varieties grown in Kyoto before the Meiji Era are generally called “Kyono vegetables”. Since no one is watching, how to collect money? After picking out the vegetables, just put the money into the hole. We head deep into Arashiyama to explore one of Kyoto’s most historic neighborhoods: Sagano.
Walking along the road, you will be surrounded by small bungalows, which are all residential buildings. Sagano is a place with convenient transportation, and there are buses with different routes to and from Kyoto city. After walking for about 10 minutes, you can’t help but be surprised how neat and clean the roads here are.
Ahead is Daikakuji Temple. Daikakuji Temple is the abbreviation, and its official name is the old Saganosho Daikakuji Temple. Please pay attention to the link below the video for the Daikakuji Temple bus route and timetable. Daikakuji Temple is a temple with a history of 1,200 years.
Daikakuji Temple has a deep relationship with Kobo Daishi Kukai. Our earlier Shikoku travel video introduced you to the life story and temples of Master Kukai. If you are interested, you can check out the Shikoku travel video.
Daikakuji Temple is one of Kyoto’s famous red foliage attractions, and many local tourists come here specifically to see the red foliage. It seems that the red leaves have fallen.
There is a large pond next to Daikakuji Temple: Osawa Pond. Osawa Pond was built during the Heian period and is the oldest existing man-made pond in Japan. Osawa Pond is surrounded by maple and cherry trees, and you can enjoy the scenery reflected in the pond.
Daikakuji Temple was built in 876 AD and was rebuilt on the site of Emperor Saga’s villa. In the past, emperors or members of the royal family served as the abbot, and it was also called the Saga Imperial Palace.
There are many historical cultures and buildings in the temple, which are designated as important cultural properties. Daikakuji Temple opening hours Daikakuji Temple and Daze Pond are not free. For tickets, please pay attention to the link below the video. It looks like the red foliage season at Daikakuji Temple is over. let’s go.
Houses along the road In the long history, Daikakuji Temple also has many stories. One of them is related to the famous swords collected in the temple. Look, the fruits on the tree! This is a persimmon tree! Persimmon is an autumn and winter fruit. It looks very tasty!
A lot of it is farmland and greenhouse cultivation. Speaking of which, the Genji treasure collected by Daikakuji Temple is a famous sword. The name of this knife is 膝丸. 膝丸 is a Japanese sword (tachi). “膝丸” has another name, called “Hizamaru” . It also has another knife called “髭切”, also known as “Higekiri”.
The two famous swords were owned by the Minamoto family during the Heian period and were passed down from generation to generation, and later passed to the two brothers Minamoto Yoritomo and Minamoto Yoshitsune. It is said that the sword can cut people like clay, which is a sharp and bloody story.
Since the death of the two brothers, the two swords have been associated with various legends. After thousands of years, they finally came together as the “Brothers Sword” in Kyoto. There are still some trees on the Seto River and mountains that are changing color. There were almost no people on the road.
In front of me is a snow-white tile-roofed house. This is the Saga Torii Gate. We came to the area where Saga Torii, a traditional building, is preserved. Dwarf maple trees, bright red maple leaves. The roads are lined with such houses. This is Atago Street. Rows of bungalows with tiled roofs.
The houses on the street are very neat, almost all of which are bungalows. 600 meters of Atago Street is designated as a nationally important traditional building preservation area. The coexistence of old villas and ordinary houses on the streets is a rare sight in Japan. There are some thatched roof houses here.
There are few pedestrians on the streets of Atago in the morning. It is a quiet place far away from the hustle and bustle, making you feel like you have traveled back to the streets of the Edo period.
Atago Kodo also holds a night light-up event every year. Are there any events this year? Please check our blog for the latest news. This place is different from the white-walled and black warehouses in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, and the beautiful Kurashiki area in Okayama Prefecture that we have visited before.
Matsumoto is a row of houses on both sides. The Kurashiki Bikan area is a large area of buildings. To see what they look like, check out the blog link below. One end of Atago Street is Arashiyama, and the other end leads to Atago Shrine.
The area around Sagano was called Adashino in ancient times. The Japanese pronunciation of “Adashino” means “transient or empty”. Why does it mean this? This story goes back a long, long time. The Kyoto of old is not the Kyoto of today.
The custom of wind burial was popular in Kyoto during the Heian period. This custom is to allow the dead to decay naturally. Of course, the Arashiyama of old is definitely different from the Arashiyama of today.
“Adashino” is a place designated as a wind burial site. Adashino, Toriheno to the east, and Rendaino to the north are all cemeteries and are known as the three major cemeteries in Kyoto. Later, burial became popular, so stone statues were erected everywhere around Adashino to mourn the eternal separation.
It has been constantly changing for thousands of years, and some stone Buddha statues are no longer enshrined. Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple was founded with this in mind. According to legend, in the 8th century AD, Kobo Daishi built it to commemorate the many dead buried here.
Later, during the Kamakura period, Master Horan practiced here and it became a temple, which continues to this day. The moss is green and there are some withered maple leaves around. The autumn foliage season at the temple has ended. The temple is a famous supernatural place in Kyoto.
Beginning in the early 19th century during the Meiji Era, more than 8,000 stone Buddha statues were collected around Adashino and on the mountain with the help of local people. The place where these Buddhist stone statues were collected was created. The most famous highlight of these places is Saiin-no-Kawahara.
No photography is allowed inside this place without permission from the temple. In addition to the Saiin Kawara, the temple’s bamboo forest path, red leaves, and cherry blossoms are also famous scenery in Arashiyama. The red leaves have fallen, and it seems that the red leaf season here is also over.
Next to the temple are residential buildings and shops, and the boundaries of life seem so blurred. Only in the present can we move forward resolutely. This episode shares with you the secret routes that only people in Kyoto know. We continued on from the Atago Kodo Trail.
Next time we will continue to explore the winter style of Sagano and Arashiyama!
