"The Nishi-Honwan Temple is the largest wooden complex in Japan, with buildings and fascinating gardens built from the 1st century. The majestic posture of the Yuyingtang and Amituotang in the courtyard is magnificent. The remnants of Fushimi City's Tangmen, Japan's oldest Beineng stage, Bai Academy, Black Academy, Feiyun Pavilion and other buildings tell the present people about the gorgeous Taoshan culture."

"Remember 2019.11 Kansai late autumn trip~ Take the bus from the 3,000 courtyard and get off in front of Yaohan Station. Walking to the entrance, the scenery on this road is also beautiful. In addition to the large red maple, there are small bridges and flowing water, small mountain waterfalls, and it is very beautiful to take a shot. A boy held a sign to guide tourists to buy tickets. The ticket will write a few times and a small bag. Go inside again and continue to queue. The popularity of the glass light courtyard is really high, and the queue is constantly. The tickets are also several times the number of 3,000 courtyards, but the place is actually much smaller. When queuing, the staff will also take the initiative to help the tourists who are about to enter take a photo at the door, and the service is still very good. There are two floors in the glazed courtyard, and there is a room that is specially made for everyone to copy scriptures, which is also very sacred. And this outside is the legendary reflection shooting site, it is really black technology, haha, you need to experience it yourself. Although it is much smaller than the 3,000 courtyard, a photo is also very artistic, and it is worth coming. If you have time, you can also visit the gallery next to it."

"🌈 Attraction features: Because the cartoon "Smart One Hugh" is known for the Golden Pavilion, the most eye-catching of course is the Golden Pavilion full of gold foil, the original one has been burned by a monk, and now this one is newly built decades ago, and the new one is of course much more beautiful than the old one. However, in addition to the Golden Pavilion, there are many other places worth seeing: 🎟️ Ticket related: 1. The ticket is very distinctive, and it is a Zhu Yinfu that can bless the whole family's safety and health (if it is a group tour, you must remember to find a tour guide to come back), the fare is very cheap, a dozen yuan. 🕐️ Scenic Area opening hours: 2, 9:00-17:00 (closes early, it is best to go forward at 16:00) 💗 Other tips: 3, there is a handwritten light yellow large-word newspaper at the gate, writing five rings, similar to the Chinese temples can not kill, can not eat meat and other rules, you can use WeChat to scan and translate, If you make a mistake, try not to go in 😂. 4. Come in and look at the Jinge Temple across the lake. This is the best landscape location. The flow of people will take you away. You must seize the opportunity. After passing this village, there is no such store. 5. On the east side of the lake is the abbot's abbot's house, the atmosphere is beautiful, can you go in to see the character. There is a pine tree bonsai at the entrance, one of the "Kyoto Sansong", the name is "Luzhou Song", trimmed into the appearance of a sailing ship, the bow rushes west, symbolizing the meaning of advocating the Western Bliss World. (Recently in the pruning solid type, below the shelf) 6, there is a small waterfall behind the Golden Pavilion Temple, there is a "squid stone" in front of the waterfall, here is called "squid jumping dragon gate", is also a place to pray. 7, "the white snake's head", the small minarets behind is the grave of the white snake, is the incarnation of wealth and wisdom. There were three statues and a coin-throwing bronze in front of them, but there were few coins in the bronze, and the three statues were full of potholes. 8, along the "shunlu" wooden sign, through a small earth slope, overlooking the entire Golden Pavilion Temple, here is also the ancient tea ceremony master's favorite tea place. 9. The Jinge Temple is built near the lake, and the lake is also a must. There are several small islands with five pines in the middle of the lake, which are unique in the traditional Japanese courtyard. 10. The Jinge Temple is small, but it has its unique Buddhist characteristics. The exit has a place for praying for blessings and signings. 11. Finally, when walking down the long ladder, don't forget to taste the special "golden powder matcha ice cream" (other article)."

"The three gates are not a separate attraction 😂 The view and mood are very wide. If time allows, you can find a corner in a daze. If you are walking around and watching the flowers, it is not worth spending tickets."

"Thanks for letting it down and I was going on the bus to work today."

"Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ The first monastery in Kyoto. Only by bus can you reach it. After getting off the bus, go all the way up, passing restaurants and small shops along the way. The scenery along the way is also very beautiful, not slow, come to the 3,000 courtyard, very simple doorway. Buy tickets for admission, take off your shoes after entering, and visit along the sign. The 3,000 courtyards are large, and all kinds of trees and red maples are quite spectacular. If you want to go all over the courtyard, all the viewing is in place, it feels like it will take more than half a day. The scenery is so beautiful that I will linger. You can also pray for blessings in the courtyard and buy Yushou. The first trip to choose to come to the 3,000 courtyard is a wonderful start. By the way, it was the peak lunch hour when I came out of the 3,000 courtyard. The restaurants at the door were all full, hungry, and quickly found another way out."
