Ninnaji Temple, well-known as it was mentioned in a Japanese classic work called Tsurezuregusa, is one of the World Cultural Heritage sites in Kyoto.

 From the great Nioh-mon Gate, visitors can enjoy the placid views of Narabigaoka Hill in the south and gentle ridgeline of mountains far in the west. The beautiful scenery and atmosphere around Ninnaji-Temple were nurtured over a long period in the ancient capital, and now cherished by the citizens of Kyoto.

 The area around Ninna-ji Temple is a buffer zone for the World Cultural Heritage site, and there are many restrictions on construction. It is also designated as a "Special Historic Preservation District" under the Law for the Preservation of Ancient Capitals. We think it is out of the question to relax the Building Standards Law for hotel construction in such an area. In front of the gate of Ninna-ji Temple, we can enjoy an excellent view of Narabigaoka Hill.At dusk, the setting sun over the Nishiyama mountain range creates a magnificent silhouette of the mountain ridges and dyes the Niomon Gate red. The scenery along with the majestic Ninna-ji Temple is a treasure not only for the residents living nearby but also for visitors from all over the world.

 If a large hotel were to be built here, it would completely change the landscape and the quiet living environment. Beautiful scenery is something that everyone should enjoy equally. We believe that this scenery, along with the lives of the residents, is the charm of Kyoto.
We are against the construction of a large hotel just in front of Ninna-ji Temple. A large hotel does not suit Ninna-ji Temple, the World Cultural Heritage site.

「仁和寺にある法師」で知られた、世界文化遺産仁和寺。その門前からは、前方に双ヶ岡、西には西山連峰がなだらかな稜線を広げています。この風景は、古都1200年の歴史にはぐくまれ、人々の暮らしのなかにいまも生き続けています。

仁和寺の周辺は、世界文化遺産の緩衝地帯（バッファゾーン）として、建築には多くの規制があります。また、古都保存法の「歴史的風土（特別）保存地区」にも指定されています。こうした地域でのホテル建設に特例による緩和など論外ではないでしょうか。

仁和寺の門前は、双ヶ岡と一体となった優れた景観です。
夕暮れどき、西山連峰に沈む陽が、山の稜線と二王門を映して見事なシルエットを描きます。勇壮で荘厳な仁和寺とともにある風景は、近隣で暮らす住民はもちろん、世界中から訪れる人々の宝です。

ここに大きなホテルが建てば、この景観も静かな住環境も一変します。
美しい景観は、だれもが等しく得られるものです。住民の暮らしとともにあるこの風景こそ、京都の魅力ではないでしょうか。

私たちは、仁和寺前の特例ホテルの建設に反対しています。大きなホテルは、世界文化遺産仁和寺の風情に似つかわしくありません。
