| Horyuji |
| Horyuji was originally commissioned by Prince
Shotoku and at the time was called "Ikaruga-dera".
This first temple was completed in 607. Recent research and
excavations reveal that the temple was hit by lightning and
burned to the ground in 670. From 670 to 700 the temple was
reconstructed in its original style but reoriented in a northwest
position. Horyuji contains over 2,300 important cultural and
historical structures and articles, including nearly 190 that
have been designated as National Treasures or Important Cultural
Properties. In December of 1993,Horyuji, as a unique storehouse
of world Buddhist culture, became the first treasure of any
kind in Japan to be selected by UNESCO as part of the World
Heritage. |

| Jikoin |
| Jikoin temple stands near the village of Ikaruga.
The temple was found in 1663 by Sekishu Katagiri, who became
one of famous masters of tea ceremony and the originator of
the Sekishu school of tea ceremony. A larger view of the Ikaruga
area from this temple is beautifully contrast with its garden
of stones and shrubbery. Powdered green tea will served to
all the participants. Please enjoy the taste of tea and a
mixture of Japanese Zen Buddhism and "Wabi" culture. |
