Sagano District is a rural district in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. It is a place with bamboo groves, temples and cemeteries. It is a great place to explore the sights of rural Japan within a short distance from Kyoto.
The following are some of the sights in Sagano District:
- Adashino Nenbutsu-ji
This is a temple where, during the feudal era, corpses were disposed. Grave markers carved in the likeness of the Buddha stand in rows. On 23 and 24 August, candles are lit for the dead. - Gio-ji
A small thatched nunnery. This was where Gio, the cast-off mistress of warload Taira no Kiyomori, became nun. - Jojakko-ji
Temple on Ogura-yama, a mountain famous for its scenic beauty. - Nison-in
Temple with statues of Amida and Shakamuni. - Osawa-no-Ike
Pond built to imitate Lake Tungting in China. - Rakushi-sha
Literally, "Hut of the Fallen Persimmons", was the home of poet Mukai Kyorai (1651-1704). - Seiryo-ji
Temple housing the Shakamuni Buddha statue, brought to Japan in AD 987. - Torii Moto
A vermillion torii gate marking the beginning of an ancient tgrail that goes up to sacred Mount Arago, home of the Japanese fire god.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
