You can skip the garden ticket, it is not worth it. I would have rated 5/5 but for the garden ticket. Simply not worth the price. The area of the garden to explore is not even 2 mins walk. Better gardens are available for free. I loved the Pagoda. The other temples in the complex are also beautiful. Could not go to the higher Temple on the mountain as that is only open between 9 am 230 pm .

very beautiful temple, not very packed so it is very relaxing to take a stroll through the beautiful garden.

The night illumination during autumn is really spectacular. The entrance fee is worth it because the place is expansive and has a lot to offer. Definitely recommended during momiji 🍂 season!

A beautiful place to view autumn leaves 🍂 it's not as busy as other spot. You can take your time to enjoy the scenery.

Amazingly beautiful, especially the sanbo-in garden. Unfortunately, it cost way too much for a ticket, combined with the fact that it is so far away from Kyoto city centre, no wonder why not many people come. The complexity of Japanese public transportation doesn’t help either. Also, the museum is nothing short of a disappointment.
