Ninna-Ji Temple Kyoto, Japan is a Buddhist temple in north-west Kyoto. Ninna-Ji has a historical relationship with the Imperial Family of Japan.

The temple is known for its Omuro Sakura cherry trees, the latest blooming cherry trees in Kyoto.

My visit was in the middle of December, quiet but lacking the color of spring and fall. I highly recommend a visit to Ninna-Ji Temple and its neighboring temples like Ryoan-Ji and Kinkaku-ji Temple, a World Heritage Site known for its "Golden Temple."

Kyoto’s Garden of Origins and Journeys

Saihoji Temple—better known as Kokedera, the “Moss Temple,” is the kind of Kyoto place that refuses to be rushed. It isn’t designed for a quick loop and a few photos. Kyoto’s Garden of Origins and Journeys is designed for practice, for quiet, for the old understanding that the best journeys begin with a steady mind.

Year of The Horse

In Japan, 2026 is the Year of the Horse. The image of the Horse symbolizes vitality, success, prosperity, and luck. For this reason, 2026 is considered a promising year and a good time to take on new and demanding challenges.
