Beautiful old temple and grounds. Obviously understaffed maintenance and operating staff.

Beautiful zen temple from the 1300s with expansive grounds and gardens, ancient trees, and a variety of flowers throughout the year. I felt the gift shop right in the entrance of the main building was just a bit on the tourist-oriented side. This could be a popular stop on elderly-oriented bus tours where they march through, but it rewards spending time and contemplating. Bought a small Buddha statue from a very old man selling his wares under the temple gate -- talking to him was one of the highlights of my trip.

A beautiful temple.If you like Kyoto, I really recommend that you visit this place. You can see an old temple, Japanese garden, flowers , also you can hear sound of water. [how much] 500yen entrance fee [how to go] By car or by train and bus. Get off JR Numata station(沼田駅), and ride on the bus. [time] 9am to 5pm You can eat lovely Wagashi(和菓子) 500yen!
