Eiheiji is the head temple of the Soto Sect of Zen Buddhism. It was founded in 1244 by
Dogen Zenji, the Buddhist scholar who introduced Soto Zen to Japan in 1228, after studying
in China for several years.
Eiheiji stands in the wooded hills, about 15 kilometers
outside of Fukui City. It consists of over 70 buildings and
structures, connected with each other by covered walkways.
Eiheiji is still an active monastery with around 150 practicing
Zen monks. It is possible for foreign visitors affiliated with a
Soto Zen Buddhist organization to stay at the temple for one
or more nights and follow the monks' daily routine.

Ama-no-hashidate roughly meaning "bridge in the heaven", is a 3.6 kilometer
long, pine tree covered sand bar, spanning across Miyazu Bay on the Tango Peninsula in
northern Kyoto Prefecture. It is ranked as one of Japan's three most scenic views.
The sand bar is
best viewed
from the hills on
either side of the
bay, which are
both accessible
by chair lift or
cablecar. To
view the sand
bar as a "bridge
in the heaven",
turn your back
towards the bay,
bend over and look at it from between your legs. Travelers to Amanohashidate have been
doing so for more than a millenium.
At the southern end of the sand bar, which is just a few steps from the railway station, stands
Chionji, a nice Buddhist temple with a small tahoto, a kind of pagoda which still resembles
the Indian stupa more than the more common three and five storied Japanese pagoda.

Matsue is the capital city of Shimone Prefecture, attractively located at the eastern
shores of Lake Shinji (Shinjiko). Due to its
location between Lake Shinji, Nakaumi
(another lake) and the Sea of Japan, Matsue
is also known as the "water city".
Matsue's attractions include its original castle
and the former residence of Lafcadio Hearn.
The city is also a good base to visit nearby
Izumo Taisha, one of Japan's most important
shrines and the Adachi Museum of Art with
one of Japan's most beautiful landscape gardens.

Tsuwano is a relaxing, 700-year-old mountain town
with a bit of something for everyone – a fine shrine and castle
ruins, buildings reminiscent of the Edo era and literary sites.
It’s in the far western reaches of Shimane-ken, about 42km
east of Hagi, and has a wonderful collection of carp
swimming in the roadside water channels – in fact, there are
far more carp here than people!
12.11.2013
Hagi is a former castle town, off
the major transport ways, along the
tranquil Sea of Japan coast in
Yamaguchi Prefecture. Hagi is best
known for its nicely preserved
former castle town and local pottery,
which ranks among Japan's finest.
Hagi used to be the capital of the
Mori daimyo (feudal lords), who governed present Yamaguchi Prefecture (then known as
Choshu) for more than 200 years, and played a central role in overthrowing the shogunate
and bringing an end to Japan's feudal age in the second half of the 19th century.

Okayama is the capital
of Okayama Prefecture, and
the largest city in the
Chugoku Region after
Hiroshima. The city is an
important transportation hub,
being the location where the
Sanyo Shinkansen meets with
the only rail connection to
Shikoku. The city developed
as a castle town during the
Edo Period (1603-1867) and
became a significant regional
power.
Okayama's most famous attraction is Korakuen Garden, which is ranked as one of the three
best landscape gardens in Japan, along with Kanazawas Kenrokuen and Mito's Kairakuen.
Okayama Castle is located just across from the garden. Okayama serves as the locale for the
popular fairy tale of Momotaro (the Peach Boy), so visitors will notice many references to the
legendary hero.

Kurashiki is located in Okayama Prefecture, just beside the prefectural capital of
Okayama City. The city has a preserved canal area that dates back to the Edo Period (16031867), when Kurashiki served as an important rice distribution center. In fact, the name
"Kurashiki" can be roughly translated as "town of storehouses", which refers to the
storehouses in
which the rice was
kept.
Many of
Kurashiki's former
storehouses have
been converted
into museums,
boutiques and
cafes. The Ohara
Museum is the
most impressive of Kurashiki's museums, exhibiting a large collection of works by famous
Western artists. The canal area is a ten minute walk from Kurashiki Station's south exit.

Takamatsu is the capital of Kagawa, Japan's
smallest prefecture. The city's port used to be the
main entry point to Shikoku Island until the
opening of the Seto Ohashi Bridge in 1988.
The Matsudaira Clan, relatives of the Tokugawa
Shogun, controlled Takamatsu's former castle town
and surrounding area, then known as the Sanuki
Province, during most of the Edo Period. The
ruling clan is also responsible for the construction
of Ritsurin Koen, one of Japan's most beautiful gardens.

Kyoto
Arashiyama
is a pleasant, touristy district in the western outskirts of Kyoto. The
area has been a popular destination since the Heian Period (794-1185), when nobles would
enjoy its natural setting. Arashiyama is particularly popular during the cherry blossom and
fall color seasons.
Tenryuji is the most
important temple in Kyoto's
Arashiyama district. It was
ranked first among the city's
five great Zen temples, and is
now registered as a world
heritage site. Tenryuji is the
head temple of its own school
within the Rinzai Zen sect of
Japanese Buddhism.
Tenryuji was built in 1339 by
the ruling shogun Ashikaga Takauji. Takauji dedicated the temple to Emperor Go-Daigo,
who had just passed away. The two important historic figures used to be allies until Takauji
turned against the emperor in a struggle for supremacy over Japan. By building the temple,
Takauji intended to appease the former emperor's spirits.

Bamboo Groves The walking paths that cut through the bamboo
groves make for a nice walk . The groves are particularly attractive
when there is a light wind and the tall bamboo stalks sway gently back
and forth. The bamboo has been used to manufacture various products,
such as baskets, cups, boxes and mats at local workshops for centuries.
Okochi Sanso Villa is the former villa of the popular actor Okochi Denjiro (1896-1962),
located in the back of Arashiyama's bamboo groves. Okochi Sanso consists of several
different gardens and buildings, including living quarters, tea houses and gates. The
buildings can only be viewed from the outside. Admission includes matcha green tea with a
snack
Daikakuji is a temple of the Shingon sect of Japanese
Buddhism. Formerly the residence of an emperor, the buildings
were converted into a temple in 876. During its history the temple
traditionally had members of the imperial family serve as the
head priest. Beside the main temple buildings there is a large
pond and a pagoda.
Jojakkoji Temple was founded in 1596. With small, attractive buildings and gates, the
temple has a quiet and understated atmosphere. Maple trees and moss are located just beside the
paths and stairs that lead across the temple grounds. From a number of spots, visitors can get a
good view of downtown Kyoto.
Nisonin Temple is a hillside temple with slightly larger and imposing buildings. A generally
understated atmosphere on the temple grounds is partly due to the overhanging trees along the
walking paths. Founded in the mid 9th century, Nisonin is a temple of the Tendai sect. There are
views over the city from the upper temple grounds
Gioji Temple is even more nestled into the forest than Jojakkoji and Nisonin. It is known for
its moss garden that is punctuated with tall maple trees. The temple's entrance gate and small
main hall have thatched roofs. The latter has an attractive round window looking into the
gardens.
Adashino Nenbutsuji Temple was founded in the
early 9th century when the famous monk Kobo Daishi
placed stone statues for the souls of the dead here.
Today, the temple grounds are covered by hundreds of
such stone statues. In the back of the temple, a short
path leads through a bamboo forest.
Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple is famous for its 1200

stone statues of rakan, devoted followers of Buddhism, each with a different facial expression.
Created relatively recently in the 1980s and early 1990s, the many statues stand across the temple
grounds which cover part of a forested mountain slope.
