Kyoto Daigo Temple: The ultimate lake view with a limited view of the night maple

In the second year, how to choose these scenic spots when you sprint Keihan to enjoy the autumn leaves?Basically, it is the regret of the first year's relics and special attractions. Daigo Temple belongs to the latter.I always thought it was a famous place for viewing cherry blossoms, but I didn't expect that its night maple was so beautiful, coupled with the few number of tourists..., my friends always told me not to write about the scenic spots too early, and regarded me as the three major gods in Japan!In fact, many Geyou have reported on it, but because of the appointment method and payment, relatively few people visit.

2022 Autumn evening visit, reservation-free admission

This year is different from the past, no appointment is required for open autumn night visits, only a reminder to arrive early, and the visit time is 2022/11/18 (Friday) ~ 2022/12/4 (Sunday), 6:8 p.m. to 50:8 p.m. 10 points to buy tickets to enter the venue, and the acceptance end time is 1,000:XNUMX p.m., the ticket fee is XNUMX yen (tickets are required for junior high school students and above), and the video screen shot at that time is supplemented (I point), compared with the crowds of Yongguantang, the quiet and unique maple scene of Daigo Temple is worth a visit.

Basic introduction to Daigoji Temple in Kyoto📂

Taigu Temple was built in the 874th year of Tang Zhenguan (907).Master Sheng Baoliyuan met the mountain god Yokoo Myojin on Shangdaigo Mountain, and he got the spirit spring "Daigoshui", and built a small temple to enshrine the two statues of Guanyin and Ruyilun. It was the predecessor of Daigo Temple. .Later, because the three emperors of Daigo, Suzaku, and Murakami believed in Buddhism at that time, the Yakushido was built in the seventh year of Enki (XNUMX) in accordance with the wishes of Emperor Daigo, and the temple architecture of Shangdaigo was gradually completed.

Next, it is planned to build a temple in Xia Daigo. In the fourth year of Yanchang (926), the Sakyamuni Hall was built, and the completion of the five-storied pagoda in the fifth year of the Houtian calendar (951) is the completion of the temple building of Xia Daigo.Since then, Daigo Temple has occupied an important position in the history of Buddhism as the central temple of the Ono school of Shingon Buddhism.
