[Nanzenji Temple] Relax in the silence of Zen and the Suirokaku Waterway 🍂 A trip to experience the depths of Kyoto
Nanzenji Temple, located in Higashiyama, Kyoto, is the head temple of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism.
The vast grounds and the space created by the historic buildings are a place where you can truly feel the "depths of Kyoto".
The red brick Suirokaku Waterway is particularly popular. It has a European atmosphere and is perfect for taking photos 📸
When I actually visited, I felt the sound of water echoing in the silence and my heart calming down.
The view from the top of Sanmon Gate is also spectacular, and I was moved by the beauty of the Kyoto cityscape and nature ✨
During the autumn foliage season, the grounds are dyed red and yellow, creating a fantastic landscape 🍁
If you visit as a couple, it will be a special experience where you can share quiet time together.
If you travel alone, you can spend luxurious time facing yourself surrounded by the atmosphere of Zen.
It is also popular with tourists from overseas, and is the perfect place to experience the "tranquility" of Kyoto 🌍
📍Access
About a 10-minute walk from Keage Station on the Tozai subway line.
From Kyoto Station, take a city bus and get off at Nanzenji-Eikando-michi, then walk for about 5 minutes.
Nanzenji is not just a tourist spot, but a place to "calm your mind."
Be sure to experience this tranquility and beauty on your trip to Kyoto 🍃✨
