Nanzen-Ji

Unclaimed

Nanzenji is Buddhist temple with great wooden architecture. Very peaceful place. You can buy a ticket and climb up the wooden structure (ticket fee for adult 600¥)and you can see view of the city. I visited during cherry blossom season it was crowded. I think it is beautiful place to enjoy autumn colors too

Stunning and vast temple complex spread over several acres. A sublime and spiritual experience not to be missed. The garden is a masterpiece and well worth the price of admission.

A lovely peaceful temple which wasn’t too crowded. Worth paying the additional small fee to climb the main pagoda and to visit the interior rooms and zen garden. It’s an easy cycle from the centre of Kyoto and plenty of bike parking on site.

Beautiful Buddhist temple which was not too crowded when visited. What I liked the most was the extremely well kept and detailed zen garden, it was raining during my visit so it felt extremely peaceful and calm. Really enjoyed some time to rest and think about life while looking to the beautiful wooden structure of the temple and beautiful gardens. At the entrance the massive gate really surprised me, incredible structure.
