Participate at a Waka poetry experience at the birthplace of Hyakunin Isshu anthology
If you are interested in visiting Kyoto, why not embark on a journey to uncover its fascinating secrets?
Experience the culture of waka poetry by renting out Enri-an,
the sacred site of Waka poetry where the Hyakunin Isshu (100 poems) originated, which is normally off-limits to visitors.
Waka poems were once the language for Heian aristocrats to express their thoughts and feelings,
and were also a sign of their superior culture.
To experience the history of Waka poetry is to step into the once prosperous aristocratic society.
Stepping into the quiet precincts of the temple and quietly ringing the bell,
you will be greeted by the abbot who protects this place.
You will get enjoy all aspects of Waka poetry, including the temple's traditional artifacts,
a tea ceremony and wagashi (Japanese sweets) by the head abbot,
as well as the beauty and emotions overflowing from the traditional poetry.
