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.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
