Autumn ・Shinnyo-do
The three-storied pagoda of neighboring Shinnyo-do rising above maple trees ablaze with the colors of fall...a rare sight of beauty that is especially poignant from Yoshida-sanso's second floor terrace.
Winter ・Yoshida Jinja
Dating back to the Jogan era of the Heian period, neighboring Yoshida Jinja holds a three-day festival from February 2 - 4 to send the demon Ekijin scurrying back to the mountains of northest Kyoto. Over these three days nearly a million people visit Yoshida Jinja to cast out evil spirits and beckon good luck in the coming spring. The high point of this special Setsubun event takes place just before midnight on Feburary 3, when an enormous holy fire is lit to burn and thus purify Shinto charms accumulated from the preceding year.
