光明寺(こうみょうじ): A Tranquil Oasis in Kyoto 🌸 Historical Significance and Spiritual Legacy Komyo-ji Temple, nestled in the serene city of Nagaokakyo, Kyoto Prefecture, holds a special place in Japanese Buddhism. Founded in 1198 by the warrior Kumagai Naozane, a devoted disciple of the revered Buddhist Master Honen, this temple has witnessed centuries of devotion and enlightenment. It serves as the head temple of the Nishiyama Jodo sect, a branch of Pure Land Buddhism. 🏯 Architectural Gems and Natural Beauty Main Niomon Gate: Constructed in 1248, this gate stands as a testament to the temple’s historical significance. It was designated a National Treasure in 1954. Maple Path: During autumn, the approach to Komyo-ji transforms into a vibrant tunnel of fall colors. The 200-meter-long path, flanked by brilliant red maple trees, captivates visitors with its seasonal beauty. Mie Hall: Inside, you’ll find an exquisite collection of Buddhist artwork and statues. Notably, the principal statue, made of papier-mâché, is said to have been crafted by Honen himself, using a letter from his mother. 🍂 Fall Leaves Season While admission to Komyo-ji is usually free, during the enchanting fall foliage season, a ¥500 fee applies. The temple opens its gates from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. every day. Remember to explore the “women’s slope” and immerse yourself in the tranquility of this hidden gem. 🌿 Enriching Experience Whether you seek spiritual solace, historical insights, or simply a peaceful escape, Komyo-ji awaits your visit. Let the rustling leaves and ancient whispers guide you through its sacred grounds. Note: Various pavilions, including the main hall, are currently under renovation until 2028 to celebrate the 850th anniversary of the Jodo...

2009年JR東海のCM「そうだ 京都、行こう」で有名な光明寺の紅葉です。

とても見事な紅葉が楽しめます。

そこは参道の紅葉のトンネルです。赤・黄・緑の絶妙な色合いが織りなす紅葉を楽しみながら歩くことができます。

紅葉のじゅうたんも必見です。

境内の横には紅葉の絨毯で造ったハートがあります。

カップルで座ってワンショットするととても可愛いです。

拝観料500円を払って入口と出口を左右に分けて一方通行で約30~40分で廻れますが、写真をたくさん撮ると約2~3時間程かかります。(写真スポット満載)

本堂も立派で入口と出口を左右に分けて一方通行で回廊を廻って上手く一周して出れるようになっています。

西山浄土宗総本山。

建久9年(1198)、法然上人の弟子で平家物語にも登場する熊谷次郎直実(くまがいじろうなおざね)の開基とされています。

境内の参道両側にある数百本のもみじが、晩秋には色鮮やかに紅葉し、京都屈指の紅葉の名所としても有名です。 寺の施設は約2万坪、建物数は32棟で、うち17棟が市文化財に指定されています。 また、樹齢約500年の柏槙(びゃくしん)も市の天然記念物に指定されています。 京都洛西観音霊場第七番札所です。
