Kyoto Dragon Boat Festival | Eikando Zen Forest Temple The secret place of hydrangea with few people and beautiful scenery💜
Dear sisters! Have you decided where to go during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday? Eikando (Zenlin Temple) in Kyoto is now in the basil season, less crowded than Arashiyama, more beautiful than Kiyomizu Temple, and you can even wear a kimono to take pictures📸! Let me share my private collection strategy with you now~
🌿 Must-see highlights
✅ Hydrangea Corridor: Full bloom at the end of June! 3000 embroidered flowers bloom along the stone steps in the temple, the sea of ​​blue and purple flowers is fantastic💙 (dense than Mingyueyuan!)
✅ Stunning Corridor: The "Looking Back at Amitabha" observation deck during the autumn leaf season, no need to queue during the Dragon Boat Festival, exclusive to Kyoto panoramic view🏯
✅ Night maple experience: Although the autumn leaf season is not yet, the temple will light up the garden lights, walking through the Centenary College at night is super atmospheric✨
✅ Kimono experience: There are summer yukata rentals nearby at "てくてく Kyoto", walk to Eikkando for 10 minutes, there are many teahouses along the way🍵
💡 Practical Tips
⏰ Time: Mid-June-Early July (2024 Hydrangea is forecast to bloom on 6/20)
🎫Tickets: 600yen day / 500yen night (price will increase during night maple)
👘 Wear: Recommended light-colored dress / yukata, and hydrangea clash color super photogenic!
🚌 Access: Take bus No. 5 "Egkando Road" from Kyoto Station and get off, walk for 3 minutes
Personal experience:
There are more tourists in Kyoto during the Dragon Boat Festival, but Eikando still maintains the tranquility of a Zen temple🌿. Arrive before 9am and enjoy the entire hydrangea garden all to yourself! Remember to bring a small fan, Kyoto is quite hot in June
If sisters want to take pictures of kimono + flower sea, recommend booking a morning photographer, after 11 o'clock the light is too hard ☀. This is my favorite secret scene in Kyoto. Go there before it becomes popular!
