— What You Can Expect —

• Manpukuji Temple (Hoteison)
  
  Built in 1661, Manpukuji Temple inherits Chinese Buddhist traditions from a
  former chief priest who originated from China. With striking similarities to
  contemporary Buddhist rituals in Chinese temples in Taiwan and Southeast Asia,
  the temple's structure features a cathedral layout inspired by the Chinese
  Ming Dynasty style. Recognized as a representative Zen Buddhist temple
  complex, 23 main buildings and corridors hold the designation of important
  cultural properties of the country.

  
  

• Toji Temple (Bishamonten)
  
  Named "Toji" and "Kyoo Gokokuji," the temple was initially constructed as a
  government temple to safeguard Heiankyo. Emperor Saga later bestowed it upon
  Kobo Daishi, thriving as the essential dojo of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism.
  Designated a national historic site in 1934, it achieved World Heritage Site
  status in 1994 as part of the "Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto".

  
  

• Rokuharamitsuji Temple (Benzaiten)
  
  Founded by Kuya Mitsukatsu, the second son of Emperor Daigo, Rokuharamitsu-ji
  Temple is the 17th temple in the Saigoku region. To combat a prevalent plague
  in Kyoto, the priest carved an eleven-faced Kannon statue, placed it in his
  car, and circled the city while chanting Buddhist chants, successfully
  quelling the situation

  
  

• Ebisu Shrine (Ebisu God)
  
  Recognized as one of Japan's three major Ebisu shrines, alongside Nishinomiya
  and Osaka Imamiya Shrines, Ebisu Shrine is now closely associated with the
  image of "bamboo for prosperous business." The bamboo, originally a unique
  form of "talismans" at Ebisu Shrine in Kyoto, symbolizes Takamasa's fortune
  and business prosperity. This association is due to the characteristic of
  bamboo leaves never falling, always remaining green, and representing enduring
  growth.

  
  

• Matsugasaki Daikokuten (Daikokuten)
  
  Daikokuten, revered as the guardian deity of Buddhism and Lotus Sutra
  believers, is enshrined on this mountain facing Kyoto's Little Ox. Serving as
  the god of good fortune, Daikokuten safeguards Kyoto's demon gates and stands
  as the guardian associated with "life, happiness, prosperity, good fortune,
  and successful business".

  
  

• Akayama Zen-in (Fukurokujujin)
  
  Akayama Zen-in Temple, a sub-temple of Mt. Hiei Enryaku-ji Temple, dates back
  to the Heian period and is renowned for its autumn foliage in Kyoto. The main
  deity, Akayama Daimyojin, safeguards the Omotekimon gate of the Kyoto Imperial
  Palace. Recognized as the temple of Fukurokuju, one of the Seven Gods of Good
  Luck, its monthly five-day lecture has been venerated by merchants since
  ancient times. This lecture is the origin of the 50-year-old ritual,
  attracting diverse beliefs.

  
  

• Kado (Jurojin)
  
  Established by Gyoen Shonin in the early Heian period, it is the 19th temple
  among the 33 temples in the Saigoku region. Chanting the mantra of the
  principal deity, Jurojin, three times a day is believed to bring good luck and
  good fortune, drawing many visitors who come to pray for a long life.
