The area

Address

Neighborhood: City Center

No district of Kyoto is quite as representative of its blended nature as the City Center. By day, the covered shopping arcades along Kawaramachi and Shijo Street bring deal hunters and fashionistas out in droves to peruse the clothing, accessories, gifts, and home goods offerings. When it grows dark, the City Center is a hip spot for nightlife, alive with bars and clubs. A trendy culinary scene and an abundance of local watering holes give the Center its youthful vibrancy. In contrast, the quieter areas of the City Center seem a world away, shielded from noise by the foliage of the public gardens and zen spaces surrounding the area's shrines, castles, and the Imperial Palace. These ancient and sacred spots are seamlessly folded into the scenery, providing a respite from the energy of the city, but close enough to put you directly back onto the pulse of the city when you're ready.

近江国から移転してきました

Mar 2020

京都市役所の近く、御池通沿いに面した浄土真宗本願寺派（西）の寺院です。元々は近江国に創建されましたが1599年に京都に移ってきました。特に観光寺という雰囲気は有りません。

掲載拒否に遭遇しました・・・・・

Nov 2021

注意して見ないと通り過してしまう程度の寺院です。ここは山号を双光山と云う、阿弥陀如来を本尊とする浄土真宗本願寺派寺院です。門内には「都大夫一中発祥地」と云う石碑が建っている。江戸時代前期の浄瑠璃太夫初代の都太夫一中の生地であるらしい。
　何かぁ・・・１００年位も前に口コミしたような施設について掲載拒否が今ごろ通知されたが、口コミしたことさえ忘れている・・・一体、このサイトの管理能力はどうなっているのか？この口コミも掲載されないのを承知の上で、今投稿している。もっとさっさと日本語を正しく理解して掲載するにしろしないにしろ処理出来ないものなのか？呆れて腹も立たない・・当分は又、他の瞬発性があって日本語を理解出来るサイトに浮気投稿して来ます。約１００件ほど投稿したら様子伺いのためこちらにも投稿してみるが・・・

ちょっとそこまで、明福寺ヘ！

Sep 2019

地下鉄東西線の「京都市役所前」を下車し御池通の北側をを西へ散歩していると「明福寺」がありました。明福寺は浄土真宗本願寺派のお寺です。
柵があって中には入れませんでしたが覗いてみると水？が入ったペットボトルが数本置いていましたが猫よけなのでしょうか。。。御池通りを歩かれる場合は覗いてみてください。

お池通り沿いが正面

May 2019 • Couples

お池通りから堺町通りを上がって探しましたが見当たらず、諦めてお池通りを東がへ行くとすぐに左手にありました　古美術店の右となりでこちらが正面でした　現代風の５階建ての建物、中へは入れずわざわざ見に行くほどのことはありませんでした

浄土真宗のお寺です

Jun 2018 • Family

御池通に面しています。浄土真宗本願寺派のお寺です。本尊は阿弥陀仏立像です。お寺の中には誰でも自由に入れるのではないようです。が外から庭園を見ることはできました。きれいに整ったお寺でした。

御池通に面して立つ浄土真宗本願寺派の寺院

Apr 2017 • Solo

御池通に面して立つ浄土真宗本願寺派の寺院です。歩道側は直ぐに塀となっており外観は近代的なビル状となっていました。1F部分に境内への入口があり、まるでビル内の寺院風となっていました。都会の寺院と云えます。
