Hokyo-in

It is a wallpaper photograph of the autumnal leaves of Hokyo-in in Kyoto Sagano.

Hokyo-in is a temple of the Rinzai sect of the very quiet appearance in Sagano in Kyoto. The circumference is a residential street of Sagano, and if it glances, it will receive the touch which is likely to be bypassed as it is. Hokyo-in in the alley where Sagano became intricate has the very beautiful autumnal leaves of a garden, and it is acknowledged. The history of Hokyo-in is old and is the temple built at Emperor Shirakawa's direct request in the late Heian period. It was called by the name of the Zenyu temple also as a basis. All the time, in the back, the Muromachi government is started from the Period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties behind, and it is the back that it was changed into a name called Hokyo-in. Although it will pray to Buddha for the happiness of the dead as a family temple in second generation of Muromachi government general Ashikaga Yosiakira which received the Ashikaga Takauji back who was a Northern Dynasty direction, Ingo of the Ashikaga Yosiakira after its death is "Hokyo-in", and having been named from there is the origin. However is also the grave of Masayuki Kusunoki who is a general of south toward morning in an interesting thing with the grave in Ashikaga Yosiakira here. this being based on the will of Ashikaga Yosiakira and burying to the Masayuki Kusunoki side who was what and an enemy -- it is . Yes, Masayuki Kusunoki's soul was also performing a memorial service for the Zenyu temple of those days. previously -- a battle of Shijonawate -- the Northern Dynasty -- Ashikaga Yoshiakira went into the place where Masayuki Kusunoki beaten by the way was previously buried in the Zenyu [ here ] temple later. It may be that the personal character of Masayuki Kusunoki who pierced Tadayoshi acted as a second generation of Ashikaga general, and made so say to where also in the allies fought in order to beat the Hojo family's Kamakura shogunate, such feeling, or a situation disadvantageous again, also adding a basis. It seems that the crack with sufficient splendid side white is also here when history is seen. Although it is the atmosphere which goes into a private house apparently although it is Hokyo-in called hidden famous place of autumnal leaves, the precincts of a temple have depth unexpectedly. But too, since plottage is not so large, even if it makes the inside of a garden an excursion, it does not take time. You merely have to care about photography considerably. The temple it is written to the entrance with the ban on large-sized and medium size camera carrying in of 35mm or more that is large however it may be in Kyoto severe to one tripod prohibition and a shutter bug will be at least here, even if it looks for it among Kyoto. Although it is such Hokyo-in, I think whether it is good to enjoy oneself calmly so that atmosphere may not be broken. even if there is no parking lot since the circumference is a residential street, but he stops and walks around nearby Seiyo-ji -- immediately . As for an admission fee, 400 yen takes again. Although the best time to see of autumnal leaves is at the end [ of November ] - the beginning time of December, it changes a little with years.
