The name of Kuruma-araisha Shrine originates from an incident during Emperor Go-Saga’s visit to Arashiyama, when the shaft of his ox-drawn carriage broke in front of the shrine and could not be moved. In awe of the shrine’s divine power, he named the stone on the right side of the shrine’s gate “Kuruma-zaki Ishi” (Car-breaking Stone) and conferred the title “Shoichi-i Kuruma-araisha Daimyojin.” Because of this history, the shrine has a strong tradition of reverence for stones. The conical mound called “Kiyome-no-Yashiro” (Purification Shrine), made with stones as its motif, and the “Kinen Shinseki” (Commemorative Sacred Stone) amulets containing stones blessed by the chief priest, have been objects of faith since ancient times. Today, Kiyome-no-Yashiro is considered a power spot for purifying bad luck, and Kinen Shinseki amulets are regarded as power stones for fulfilling wishes, attracting worshippers from all over Japan.

In the early Kamakura period (1192-1333), Anraku-ji temple was founded by Anraku and Juren, disciples of Honen, who popularized the chanting of Namu Amida-Butsu ("I worship thee, Amida Buddha"). Honen's teachings brought solace to commoners during a turbulent era transitioning from aristocratic to feudal rule. However, opposition from the imperial court, fearing social unity and stability would be compromised, led to the persecution of Honen, Anraku, Juren, and Honen's followers. This event, known as the "Kenei Persecution" (1207), marked a rare instance of severe suppression in Japanese Buddhist history. Anraku-ji temple was later rebuilt to honor the memories of those affected. 21 Shikagaya Gosho-no-Dancho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto 606-8422GoogleMap 10:00～16:00 ¥500 (free for junior high school students and under)¥1,000 (Pumpkin Memorial Day) For city busesFrom Kyoto Station: Take city bus No. 5 bound for "Iwakura Sharyojo" and get off at "Shinnyodo-mae", then walk for about 15 minutesFrom Shijo Kawaramachi: Take city bus No. 203 to "Gion/Kinrinshako" and get off at "Shinnyodo-mae", then walk for about 15 minutesFrom Demachiyanagi Station: City bus No. 17, No. 102, No. 203, get off at "Kinrinshako-mae" and walk east for about 15 minutes.From Jingu Marutamachi Station: City bus No. 93 or No. 204, get off at "Kinrinshako-mae" and walk east for about 15 minutes.

Affiliated with the Tendai Shinsei sect, this temple was originally founded in 863 (Jōgan 5) by the monk Jie (慈恵). Although it once had many sub-temples, repeated fires devastated the grounds. In 1483 (Bunmei 15), the monk Seishin restored the temple and is regarded as its reviver. Later, in 1566 (Eiroku 9), it became an imperial prayer temple under Emperor Kashiwara, and in 1594 (Bunroku 3), it was relocated to Kuramaguchi. The current temple was rebuilt on the ruins of the original site as the former Jōzen-ji (the temple that moved to Kuramaguchi later converted to the Jōdo sect and still exists today). The principal image is Amida Nyorai (Amitābha Buddha). The Daikokuten statue enshrined in the Daishi-dō (Founder’s Hall) is said to have been made by Jie and Saichō, the founder of the Tendai school.

Mori-zuka Kannon Temple Endō Moritō, a warrior who served at the northern gate of the Toba Imperial Villa, fell in love with Kesa Gozen, the wife of Watanabe Saemon-no-jō Minamoto no Wataru. Obsessed with her, he plotted to kill her husband and make her his own. However, Kesa Gozen devised a plan and, in place of her husband, allowed herself to be killed by Endō Moritō. Upon learning the truth, Endō was filled with remorse, renounced the world, became a monk, and took the name Mongaku. He later traveled across Japan practicing severe asceticism and went on to restore temples such as Jingo-ji in Takao. Koi-zuka (the “Mound of Love”) is said to be the place where Kesa Gozen’s head was buried. In 1647 (Shōhō 4), the local lord, Nagai Hyūga-no-kami Naokiyo, commissioned the scholar Hayashi Razan to write an inscription in her honor, commemorating her as a woman of great virtue. The monument still stands within the temple grounds. The temple belongs to the Seizan-Zenrin-ji branch of the Jōdo sect, and is also known for Toba Jizō, one of the Six Jizō Pilgrimage Temples in Kyoto. In the Kannon Hall, the temple enshrines a statue of Eleven-faced Kannon (Kannon Bosatsu) dating from the 9th–10th centuries, which is designated a Cultural Property of Kyoto City. The temple is said to have been founded in 1182 (Juei 1) or possibly in 1144 (Ten'yō 1).

Commonly known as "Rokudō-san", this temple belongs to the Kennin-ji school of the Rinzai sect. It is said to have been founded by Keishun, the teacher of Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi), in 836 (Jōwa 3). The start of Kyoto’s Obon season is marked by the ringing of the Mukae-gane (Welcoming Bell) at this temple. In the past, the temple stood at the entrance to Toribeno, one of Kyoto’s ancient cremation grounds. Because of this, it came to be regarded as the boundary between this world and the afterlife, a place known as the "Rokudō no Tsuji" (Crossroads of the Six Realms). According to legends and classical literature such as the Konjaku Monogatari, it was believed that the sound of the bell guided ancestral spirits back to this world. Behind the main hall are two wells, known in legend as the portals used by Ono no Takamura to travel between this world and the underworld. In the Enma Hall, statues of both King Enma (the Lord of the Underworld) and Ono no Takamura are enshrined. Visitors are free to stroll the temple grounds, but entry to the halls—which contain culturally significant features such as the main image of Yakushi Nyorai (the Healing Buddha, a designated Important Cultural Property), the "Well to the Underworld", and paintings of hell—requires advance reservation. 595 Komatsucho, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto PrefectureGoogleMap Get off at "Kiyomizu-Gojo" or "Gion-Shijo" on the Keihan Railway, then walk for about 20 minutes.

Originally founded in the Heian period, this temple belongs to the Jōdo sect of Buddhism. According to tradition, Kūkai (Kōbō Daishi) established a temple named Gochizan Nyorai-ji and buried exposed remains found in the area. Later, Hōnen transformed the site into a nembutsu practice hall and renamed it to its current name. The main hall was rebuilt in 1711 (Shōtoku 2) by Jaku-dō Shōnin. Within the temple grounds, there are over 8,000 stone statues and gravestones, marking the resting places of those once buried in Adashino, a historical burial ground. Every year, on the final Saturday and Sunday of August, the temple holds the Sento Kuyō (Thousand Lantern Memorial Ceremony), in which candles are lit to honor the spirits in a deeply atmospheric and spiritual setting.
