    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Nanzenjifukuchichou other
    An inclined railroad 582 meters long that served as part of the Lake Biwa Canal in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City. It is the longest such incline in the world. The railroad was used from 1891 to 1948 to move boats over a steep incline on the Lake Biwa Canal that rose 36 meters in total. Today, visitors can walk along the tracks and, in spring, enjoy the Somei-yoshino and mountain cherry blossoms planted alongside.

    Kyoto Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Nanzenjifukuchichou
    Suirokaku is bridge over a canal in Kyoto's Sakyo Ward. It is made of brick and built with arches, a design that calls to mind the art objects of ancient Rome. Located on a branch of a canal coming out of Lake Biwa, it was completed in 1888. It was built with special consideration for blending into the surrounding scenery, even as the canal flows through the grounds of Nanzenji Temple. The bridge has been used as a location for television dramas.

  • Okazaki Jikkobune Boat Ride

    Kyoto Kyoto-shi Sakyo-ku Nanzenjikusagawacho Area
    The cherry blossom viewing boat tours the Biwako Sosui Canal, offering an enjoyable way to see Okazaki Park in full bloom in spring. 3 km round trip from the Okazaki Nanzenji Funatamari boarding area to the Isigawa Dam. In principle, the boat runs every 15 minutes, but be aware that the boat may fill up early in the day.

    Kyoto Pref. Kyoutoshi Sakyou-ku Joudojishinnyochou 22

    真如堂近くに立つ寺院で、たまたま通り掛かって立寄りました。山門前には寺号以外にも「洛東九番 萩乃霊場」とあったものの柵は閉じられたままで境内を窺うだけとなりました。 猶、外周の土塀が歴史を感じさせられました。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
