Mimurotoji（三室戸寺）

During rainy season in Japan, from Mid June till Early July, you can see many hydrangeas. One of the popular temple, Mimurotoji holds lighting up event.

Mimurotoji is a little far from center of Kyoto, so that mainly local people visit. However,  if you have a chance, this good atmosphere can be recommended.

Unryu-in temple (雲龍院), Imakumano Kannon-ji (今熊野観音寺)

 

Unryu-in temple is located inside of the Sennyu-ji Temple as sub-temple. It was established in 1372 by Emperor Gokogon. There are some interesting points on how viewers see the scenery outside. The concept of windows are related with Zen spirit.

This window is called "Satorino Mado", which describes the achievement of a deep Zen- spiritual awareness, in contrast to "Mayoino Mado" square-shaped window.
