- Rachel DaviesJuly 3, 2016Stunning! Very calming and lots to see-you could definitely spend a couple of hours exploring. The aquifer and gardens are the star attractions.
- Lionel LimJune 1, 2019A relatively big temple complex in the east of Kyoto. There are several buildings in the complex that charge an entry fee. However, the grounds itself is free. Check out the aqueduct!
- Lisa StarbucksApril 2, 2017The gate is very impressive and the viaduct is a popular place for pictures! ☺️
- Tom Van GoylenMarch 22, 2015Once you go under the viaduct, take the road to the far right (next to a small water stream) and climb up to a small, beautiful temple where very few tourists go!
- Fernando LemosOctober 5, 2017Not much to see at temple itself, but the park around it is nice. Hojo garden is worth a stop and near it, the aqueduct.
- Thailan PhamMay 4, 2016Zen temple with grounds free of charge. Beautiful view over treetops from Sanmon gate.
- Rob GoossensSeptember 25, 2016The area around the temple is rather large, but nothing special. Nonetheless, it is cool to go to the actual temple and watch the monks pray
- Alexey ChistyakovNovember 3, 2015Spend 300¥ and go to the garden. Ultra relaxing and inspiring place!!
- Fluying ✅December 7, 2015Although it's nice, for sure its not the most attracting temple. I would suggest skipping it if you are short on time.
- Alessandro MingioneApril 12, 2015Cool temple, but I'd advice to skip it if you are short on time. The aqueduct is really nice!
- 龍November 17, 2013臨済宗南禅寺派の大本山であり正しくは太平興国南禅禅寺で、山号は瑞竜山。正応4年 (1291年) 無関普門を開山とし、亀山法皇の離宮を寺としたのに始まる。足利義満公の時、京都五山の別格上位に列せられた。重要文化財である藤堂高虎造営の三門、国宝の方丈などのほか、小堀遠州の作と伝える枯山水庭園がある。江戸初期に以心崇伝が住した金地院をはじめ塔頭も多く、日本の禅寺の中で最も高い格式をもつ寺院とされる。
- 疏水、水路閣の奧、最勝院の駒が滝。いまも修験行者が修行を続けています。朝6時には掃除がはじまり、すこしすると般若心経が響きます。大岩と不動明王
- MymApril 19, 2016No es el más llamativo y la subida al altar en la montaña detrás del acueducto no tiene interés
