Nijo Castle:
The World Heritage Nijo-jo Castle in Kyoto is not only a property of Japan, but a common property shared by the whole world. To be able to preserve and hand down this heritage to the next generation, we plan a full-scale repair of cultural properties starting with the National Treasure Ninomaru Palace.
This full-scale repair project is the first major repair conducted since the castle was raised by Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1603. Because of this and the fact that the castle itself holds a great number of cultural assets, great funds and many years will be necessary to complete the project. Therefore, for this repair project we are collecting funds through our fundraising group: “The World Heritage Nijo-jo Castle - The Castle Owners’ Fundraising Group”. We thank each and every one of you for your deep understanding and warm support.
Kinakuji:
Kinkakuji (金閣寺, Golden Pavilion) is a Zen temple in northern Kyoto whose top two floors are completely covered in gold leaf. Formally known as Rokuonji, the temple was the retirement villa of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and according to his will it became a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect after his death in 1408. Kinkakuji was the inspiration for the similarly named Ginkakuji (Silver Pavilion), built by Yoshimitsu's grandson, Ashikaga Yoshimasa, on the other side of the city a few decades later.
Bamboo Groves
The walking paths that cut through the bamboo groves make for a nice walk or bicycle ride. The groves are particularly attractive when there is a light wind and the tall bamboo stalks sway gently back and forth. The bamboo has been used to manufacture various products, such as baskets, cups, boxes and mats at local workshops for centuries.
