Saihō-ji (Koke-dera) Temple Review

This temple is known as the "moss temple" for a good portion of the grounds is covered in moss (protected from being trampled by short fencing). This is a small temple, and you must reserve your visit in advance as they limit how many people can come per day and which times. As a tourist, this is good as it ensures that there are not too many people about -- so you can enjoy this Zen temple as you should, taking in the peace and tranquility.

The biggest feature of Xifang Temple, also known as Tesji Temple, is Testing. Xifang Temple is located in Kyoto City, of course, Xijing District. It is best to come here in summer and autumn. The greenness of the garden is really a feeling that it can't be closed.

Kyoto's most difficult temple | Nishifang Temple 📍 Kyoto Prefecture, Matsuo-Kyoto City, Nishi-Kyoto City, Nishifang Temple 💰 3000 (Kyoto's most expensive ticket) There are more than 120 kinds of moss in the temple, so it is also called Moss Temple. In order to protect moss, the temple adopts a full reservation system and strictly controls the number of people.

Ok. A bit expensive. However, ticket booking is necessary.

very good place

Almighty's one-month advance booking. When you enter the temple, show your visiting certificate, go into the temple to receive the Heart Sutra and the Wish Card, and hand in 3,000 yuan. Although 3,000 yen, but absolute value for money, move out of step! JR Kyoto Station C6 Block 73 Road, I do 8:5 bus, 1 hour to, the first to the moss! You can enter the temple at 9:30, listen to the scriptures at 10, and finish eating eel rice at 11:00. Now, instead of copying scriptures, listen to monks recite the Heart Sutra three times and meditate and praise one time. Write wishes on the front of the board, and write names and addresses on the back. Start visiting the moss temple in the drizzle! There are cars at 11:16 and 11:36 on 73 Road on weekdays, which can calculate the time for visiting and going to dinner.

Xifang Temple is one of the Kyoto World Heritage Sites, which needs to be booked more than ten days in advance. You need to use Japanese postcards, Japanese addresses (overseas tourists use reserved hotel addresses), send them postcards to make reservations, and then they will write back to you and indicate the date and time. You have to report at this time, and then pay 3,000 yen for admission. This visit is not an ordinary sightseeing, but rather a kind of meditation activity. You have to take part in a classic project in the temple, copy the Boroboro Heart Sutra, and then you can visit their courtyard. Xifang Temple is also known as Moss Temple. Because of the humid and clean climate, mosses grow vigorously.
