Berjalan-jalan Melalui Kuil dan Kuil Bersejarah Yokohama

Gumyoji

Kuil tertua di Yokohama adalah bukti dedikasi terhadap pelestarian bagian-bagian penting dari sejarah budaya di Jepang. Ada bukti bahwa aula utama Gumyoji selesai dibangun pada 10 Maret 1044. Meskipun aula tersebut dibangun kembali pada tahun 1766, patung cannon berwajah sebelas Kannon diyakini telah diukir pada waktu yang sama dengan pendirian kuil. Ini adalah patung kayu dengan pahatan rumit yang tingginya lebih dari 180 sentimeter dan merupakan Harta Karun Nasional Jepang dan Properti Budaya Penting Nasional. Meskipun halaman Gumyoji relatif kecil, mereka dipenuhi dengan pemandangan unik dan banyak ukiran yang menarik. Luangkan waktu untuk melihat detailnya, yang perlahan tapi pasti akan terungkap kepada Anda.

Iseyama Kotai Jingu: Guardian of Yokohama City

Iseyama Kotai Jingu

Known as the Ise Jingu of the Kanto region, Iseyama Kotai Jingu is an important shrine both within the Shinto religion and Yokohama. It is so centrally located it overlooks the Minato Mirai area, but its hilltop location makes it feel hidden away from the rest of the world. The shrine moved here in 1870 on the cusp of great change in Japan and as Yokohama opened its port to the world. People from all over the country gathered here for work creating a vibrant, but divided atmosphere. When Iseyama Kotai Jingu relocated they held a huge festival and this is said to have been the catalyst for the citizens of Yokohama to feel united. The festival was so significant that May 15 — the annual festival day — was a public holiday in the city for a long time. Now, Iseyama Kotai Jingu’s picturesque surroundings are popular for weddings and in spring, when cherry blossoms line the steps up to the main hall.

Saihouji

Saihouji offers an escape from the busyness of the city without leaving Yokohama. Founded in Kamakura about 800 years ago, the temple moved to Yokohama around 500 years ago. This tranquil space opens with a long approach and a thatched roof gate. The main hall, built around 300 years ago, also has a thatched roof — a rare sight. Saihouji is most famous for its abundance of flowers and its vibrant blossoms attract visitors all year round. In spring there are cherry blossoms and magnolias, while summer brings azaleas, irises, hydrangeas and more. Autumn offers another color explosion with spider lilies in an array of red, yellow and pink. Winter boasts camellias and yellow plum blossoms known as robai.
