Sanzenin Temple

A hidden village in Kyoto where you can forget your daily life in the moss garden

One of the five Tendai monasteries. One of the most sacred places in the northern part of Kyoto. The main hall, Oujogokurakuin (a temple with a significant cultural value), is famous. The hydrangeas in the rainy season and maple trees in the fall are magnificent.
