SephiMasamune in the last week

Beautiful temple right next to the Arashiyama bamboo grove. I liked how some of the sliding doors are open so you can peek inside some of the rooms. Also a large garden area in case you want to escape the crowds.

Free temple to walk through and explore. Most of the temples leading up to the main one were either closed off or not available to see, which was a little disappointing but completely understandable that they are probably private spiritual places. The main temple was very impressive, and the architecture of all the buildings is impressive to say the least.

This is the best temple and garden I visited in Kyoto. It’s beautiful, peaceful, not as crowded, and very unique. Every frame is picture perfect. There is ample space to sit and enjoy the scenery. Very well maintained too. Must visit

A lovely temple hides in the Arashiyama. The back entrance are linked to the famous bamboo forest. Requires an entrance fee to access. The garden is not very huge but has a lot of maple trees and plant. Has a clean trail to move around. Good place to spend after your visit to the bamboo forest.
