圓德院

圓徳院位於京都市的東山區。是京都的名勝之一。是春天可以賞櫻花，秋天賞楓的秘境。特別推薦夜遊，晚上去會看到另外一種風格的驚艷。

【京都·高台寺·圓德院】豐臣秀吉與正室北政所寧寧間的故事向來為人津津樂道，在電影「須清會議」中，更放大了秀吉之得以一統天下，寧寧功不可沒的偉大助力。豐臣秀吉不論出身、外表都與寧寧不甚匹配，加上花名在外，但寧寧不但為其生兒育女，並終其一生扶持夫婿取得天下。就連在秀吉過世后，寧寧離開大阪城來到京都，為祈求亡夫冥福，於1606年修建「高台寺」。平時期間高台寺境內不少重要文物都不開放，只能從外觀靜心參拜，近觀其寧靜之美。但是現在圓德院新年期間限定公開，有時間的朋友不要錯過。

高台寺下來，寧寧之路對面就是Entokuin Temple，是北政所在豐臣秀吉逝世后，居住以及實際執掌權利的地方。和高台寺相比，這裏的品味更好一些，裏面的一些繪畫，布局也更秀氣，一看就是個住的很舒服的地方。日本的庭院，很講究布局，一定有一個角度看過去是很美的，從其他角度看就沒那麼漂亮。這個小庭院，如果能從對面的桌案那裡看過來，一定是很漂亮的，可惜不讓過去。這裡是第一個遇到的把枯山水中的白砂石，用來完全模擬流水的，用白砂石環繞了居所，好像被水圍繞一樣另外這裡是第一個要拎着鞋走過的地方，因為入口和出口不在一個地方，出口之外是一條綠色小徑，通往石塀小路。

Yuande Temple is located on the road to Gaotai Temple. The joint ticket of Gaotai Temple contains Yuande Temple. As the former residence of Xiuji's family, it is not particularly famous. Generally, it is a joint ticket tourists who come to visit it. Compared with the big temple, the small courtyard is not big, but it is a unique Japanese courtyard. I don't know what the three big black days written on the signboard mean.

Yuandeyuan is also very close to Qingshui Temple. It is near Gaotai Temple. All the tickets nearby can be seen together. I like it very much. Few tourists are quiet inside. It's worth staying for an afternoon. It is built on the hills, with water and pavilions. Especially when it's approaching autumn, you can see layers of different colors. It's a quiet courtyard.

Yuande Temple is located on the path to Gaotai Temple, but the inconspicuous gate has a long history. This is the place where Ning Ning, the wife of Hideki Toyoshi, who was one of the three outstanding Japanese soldiers in the Warring States Period, lived for the last nineteen years after Hideki Toyoshi's death. Ningning is also known as one of the three wives of the Warring States Period.
