Hōkongō-in is a historic Buddhist temple located in Kyoto, Japan. Founded in 1130 by Emperor Toba, it is often referred to as the “Temple of the Sacred Lotus” because of its stunning lotus garden. The temple is part of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism.

The highlight of Hōkongō-in is its beautiful garden, which was designed in the Heian period. Visitors can enjoy seasonal flowers, especially the lotus blossoms in summer, which create a serene and picturesque atmosphere.

As the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 approaches, neighboring Kyoto is buzzing with anticipation, preparing to leverage its rich cultural heritage and timeless beauty in support of this momentous event. The city eagerly awaits the economic benefits that will ripple through various industries, recognizing its pivotal role in the Expo's success.
As a photographer, I am dedicated to capturing Kyoto's vibrant spirit and unique charm during this historic period. Through my lens, I aim to document not just the city's scenic beauty, but also its dynamic energy as it engages with the global spotlight of the Expo, contributing to both its immediate impact and enduring legacy.
Kyoto continues to evolve as a premier destination, with endless possibilities in tourism development, luxury market expansion, and innovative branding strategies.
