Itinerary tips
In personal experience, it is recommended that you enter the temple in the autumn morning (about 9 or 10 o'clock) to avoid the crowds, so you can enjoy the garden and take beautiful photos. The environment of the temple is very quiet, even if there are many tourists, it is not too noisy, perfect for slow walking, resting, and enjoying the scenery.
