[illy-ship Sun Ichiro] August 5, 2011 08:30

This year, the 750th anniversary of Shinran Saints, Kyoto Nishi Honganji Temple is very crowded.

Nishi Honganji Temple and Chuo-ku have a big edge.

One is Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

The official name is Jodo Shinshu Honganji Temple Honganji Temple Tsukiji Betsuin, and it is a separate temple of Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto.

There are a lot of events this year.

Just until August 6 (Saturday), the Noryo Bon Dance Festival is also being held.


The other is karamon gate.

It is said that it was the source of the Kirin Brewery Mark, headquartered in Shinkawa, Chuo-ku.

Why don't you go to Tsukiji Honganji this year, the 750th anniversary of Shinran Saints?

Also, at Nishi Honganji Temple in Kyoto, there are days when you can visit specially every month in the fall. You can see the national treasure Hiunkaku and Shoin, which are usually closed, so it is also recommended to see this Kirin.
