Kodai-ji Temple

Kodai-ji was established in 1606 in memory of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of Japan's greatest historical figures, by his wife Nene, who is enshrined at the temple along with her husband. We have booked the beautiful garden of the temple for our exclusive enjoyment as part of an aperitif plan. It will be a special night, with the beautiful illuminated garden.

Hokan-ji Temple

This is a landmark in the Higashiyama, officially “Hokan-ji Temple”, but commonly known as the "Yasaka Pagoda". The five-storied pagoda, which has been designated as an important cultural property, is a pure Japanese style building of 5 floors, each with a sloping tiled roof. It is 46 meters high and conveys the architectural style of the late seventh century AD.
