    Tenryuji (天龍寺, Tenryūji) is the most important temple in Kyoto's Arashiyama district. It was ranked first among the city's five great Zen temples, and is now registered as a world heritage site.

    it's actually 500yen for the garden and 100 more for the temple, last tipper got lost in translation. You can chill in the temple's tatami, so it is absolutely worth the 600 for everything.

    Wonderful temple which used to be the emperor’s palace. Beautiful view with the autumn leaves falling. Entrance for the garden and temple is ¥800 per person. Come early to avoid crowd.

    Go first thing in the morning (before 0800) to enjoy this wonderful place before the crowds ruin it. Don't miss the cloud dragon!

    The ceiling-dragon, whose scowl follows you, is worth seeing despite the fact that it's a recent addition. The optical illusion is based on one of his eyes being set in the dead-center of the room.

    If you're doing a single day tour, start with this one. Very peaceful hillside garden that you can stroll through after the temple.

    Go hang in the garden. It's a nice way to go from the Bamboo Groves into the main drag.

    500yen for the garden, with additional 100yen for the temple. Depending on what you are looking for, I personally feel that 600yen is worth the whole experience.

    Beautiful temple gardens! Worth the small fee to walk around and see the flowers.

    One of Kyoto’s five great Zen temples, it features an attractive Japanese stroll garden set against the backdrop of spectacular mountain scenery.

    It's pretty cold during the winter, save money on the temple and buy a ticket only to the gardens

    Go just before sunset. The view of the pond is breathtaking at this time of the day.

    500yen for temple and another 500yen for the garden. The garden is worth the visit but not the temple.

    This place would be best when the gardens are in full bloom. Don't pay to go inside the building. It doesn't add much to the experience. Stick to the gardens then head to bamboo forest .

    京都五山の寺格第一位。御朱印は手書きではなくスタンプなので、少しお安く¥200。拝観料は本堂と庭園合わせて¥600です(2015当時, 2022には拝観料は¥800に)。

    「天龍寺。曹源池及池後山石,甚佳,為夢窗疏石國師所造之庭園。『書院』通往『多寶殿』之長廊亦佳。『百花苑』樹木廣植,且巨高參天,又得疏朗之致,為金閣、銀閣二寺後山樹木緊密所不及也。」- 舒國治《門外漢的京都》頁一五七

    Dicen que es el método más rápido de acceder al bosque de bambús. No sé si es cierto pero merece más la pena el temblo que el bosque. Demasiada gente entre los bambús haciéndose selfies.

    생각보다는 그저 그런 사찰. 메이지시대 재건했다는 데 포인트가 있다. 젠스타일과 과대망상이 믹스된 느낌. 절에 왜 궁전에나 있는 정원이 있고 넓은 마루의 전각들이 있는지. 자꾸 궁전인줄 착각하게 됨
