[A temple with a spectacular view that Murasaki Shikibu loved🌸] A trip of literature and nature at Ishiyama-dera Temple📖🍁

Known as the place where "The Tale of Genji" was written, Ishiyama-dera Temple is a beautiful temple where literature and history live.
The main hall, built on a huge piece of wollastonite, is designated as an important cultural property of Japan, and the fusion of nature and architecture is stunning✨
You can enjoy different expressions in each season, with cherry blossoms in spring, autumn leaves in autumn, and fresh greenery in early summer🌿🍂
The key points of the trip are the "Murasaki Shikibu Exhibition" and "Literature Monument Tour". There are many spots that can be enjoyed for free, and history lovers will love it!
Why not spend a peaceful time in the quiet temple grounds while thinking about the world of the Tale of Genji? 🧘♀️
[Access]
About a 10-minute walk from Keihan Electric Railway "Ishiyama-dera Station". You can also take a bus from JR Ishiyama Station 🚌
