Kennin-ji Temple - Kyoto - 建仁寺

Located in the heart of Kyoto south of the famous Gion Geiko District, you will find the beautiful Kennin-ji Zen temple (also known as Kenninji). Now before going any further on Kennin-ji, we would like to first explain the difference between Geisha and Geiko. They are the same in appearance however, they are referred to as Geisha in Tokyo, Geiko in Kyoto and for example Geigi in Aizu Wakamatsu. Founded by the Buddhist monk Eisai (also known as Yosai) who brought both Zen Buddhism and tea cultivation to Japan from his trips to China. Kennin-ji was built in 1202 and is one of Kyoto's oldest Zen temples. Here like in any Zen temple you will find a gorgeous rock garden as well as a beautiful and well-kept twin dragon artwork on the ceiling of its Dharma Hall. #4K #Kyoto #Zen To Subscribe to this Channel, click here!! : /user/tokyostreetview For any questions, inquiries or if you are looking to acquire some of our clips, please contact us here: info@tokyostreetview.com Love this video?
