Imadegawa Street
and the Spirit of Kyoto
Let’s !
Go
Imadegawa Street, a 7-kilometer (4½-mile) thoroughfare running east-to-west through Kyoto, is surrounded by
temples, specialty stores, museums, and nature. Its many and various attractions all participate in communicating the spirit and traditions of the city. The street is said to have been named after an Imadegawa River—a
tributary of the Kamogawa river—that at one time apparently ran through the city center.
As you stroll along the street, take time to enjoy the seasonal beauty of blossoming plum trees (Kitano
Tenmangu Shrine) and cherry trees (Kyoto Gyoen). Stop and try some traditional specialty foods, and visit some
of the many fascinating shops, temples, and museums. The area is well served by municipal buses and subways.

The Imperial Palace, formerly the residence of the Imperial Family, is surrounded by the rectangular national

K Ginkakuji Temple
Yoshida Jinja Shrine
( Silver Pavilion: Jishoji)
吉田神社
A well-known shrine built during the Heian Period to guard the city. During the three-day
Setsubun Festival the grounds are filled with street stores(February 2 to 3), and crowded
with supplicants coming to pray for protection and good fortune. The Tsuina ceremony—
a ceremony to drive out evil spirits, dating back to the early Heian period—begins at 6 PM
on the first day of the festival. Prayers made at the Daigengu subsidiary shrine, set deep
within the grounds, are said to be especially effective—offering the same effect as
combined visits to all 3,132 shrines in the country. Special yakuzuka structures, designed
to catch and remove ill fortune, are set up exclusively for this ceremony.
銀閣寺（慈照寺）
A famous Zen temple, established through the efforts of Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the eighth
shogun of the Muromachi shogunate. The beautiful main structure, properly named Kannon
Hall but more widely known as the Silver Pavilion, is a National Treasure that stands out for its
elegant simplicity. There is no evidence that silver foil was ever applied; instead, the walls were
finished with black lacquer. The garden, a National Site of Scenic Beauty, was landscaped under
the direction of Yoshimasa himself. When snow falls, the black/white contrasts are
remarkable. The Ginshadan (sand pattern) and Kogetsudai (sand mound) are also interesting
and attractive.

Special Opening of Cultural Properties
—See the Hidden Beauty of Japan’s Ancient Capital—
The Kyoto Winter Tour campaign offers a chance to experience aspects of the ancient capital’s charm unique to the season in
which an air of solemn tranquility settles over the city. Zen has been selected as the theme for 2016, the commemorative 50th
campaign, which features special viewings of cultural treasures not usually open to the public.

Zen and Explore its Impact
on Japanese Culture and Art
The Symbol of Kyoto:
Japan’s Tallest Five-Storied Pagoda
This year marks the 1,150th anniversary of the death of the Zen master Rinzai, who
founded the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism, so a variety of cultural properties not
usually open to the public will be available to view at Zen temples. These will include
gardens, images of the Buddha, and sliding-screen paintings. Do take advantage of
this rare opportunity to view the cultural treasures that will be unveiled at 16
temples around the city.
Standing around 55-meter high, the five-storied pagoda
rebuilt by Tokugawa Iemitsu—the third shogun of the
Tokugawa shogunate—is Japan’s tallest wooden pagoda.
The interior of the first story, which will be open for
special viewing, is decorated with richly colored patterns.
The main pillar called “Shinbashira” standing in the center
is said to represent Dainichi Nyorai, existence in the
center of the universe. Four Nyorai statues are each
located surrounding the main pillar. Visitors will also be
able to see the temple’s halls, including the Kondo (Main
Hall) and the Kodo (Lecture Hall), where 21 images of the
Buddha form a three-dimensional mandala.
Open until Friday, March 18, 2016
Opening dates may vary. Please check the website for details.

Shrines and temples are an essential part of any tourist’s itinerary when
visiting Kyoto. Read these tips to learn more about the Japanese way of
thinking, so that you can make the most of your visit and protect
priceless cultural heritage from damage.
How to Pay Your Respects at Shrines and Temples
First, before paying your respects, visit the purification pavilion (called a
chozuya or temizuya). It is believed that coming into contact with clean water
within the sacred confines of this pavilion purifies the body and soul. Use the
ladle to scoop up some water and rinse your hands and mouth briefly before
proceeding to the main place of worship.
Shrines are Shinto places of worship. Their main
entrance is marked by a gate called a torii. Temples
