▼Spot info▼ 📍Nison-in @nisonin 27 Chojin-cho, Saganishin-in Monzen, Ukyo-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto 616-8425, Japan 📝 First, let me introduce the opening words displayed on the Nison-in Temple website, which are profoundly Japanese and exquisitely beautiful. ______________ “True silence is not the absence of sound. Beyond the straight, tree-lined path, embraced by vibrant maple and cherry trees, take a moment to listen. In this beautiful scenery, you may hear sounds that are often lost in the noise of daily life. The rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds, the flow of water, and the gentle presence of people. The silence of Nison-in gathers these countless sounds and delivers them to our hearts. As you immerse yourself in the temple’s rich history, let yourself be carried away by a serene moment. When your heart is soothed by the melodies of nature, you may be hearing echoes from over 1,200 years ago. A temple is not a place to be intimidated by. At the foot of Mount Ogura, Nison-in invites you to encounter the timeless silence of twelve centuries.” ______________ ◼︎About Nison-in Temple, located at the foot of Mount Ogura, boasts a history of over 1,200 years and enshrines two Buddhas: Shakyamuni and Amida.
