Sanzenin Temple, located in Ohara, a little way from Kyoto city, is a famous Tendai sect temple that quietly stands in a mountain village rich in nature.
The moss-covered garden, cedar groves, and the gentle-looking baby Jizo statues gently soothe the hearts of visitors✨
When you actually visit, you can't help but take a deep breath in the quiet space where only the chirping of birds and the sound of the wind resonate.
The beauty of the garden is exceptional, and you can enjoy the seasonal atmosphere with fresh greenery in spring, cool shade in summer, autumn leaves in autumn, and snowy scenery in winter🍁❄️
In the main hall, the Amida Triad welcomes you with a gentle expression, and your heart is warmed.
If you visit as a couple, it's a special time to share quiet time and be healed.
If you're traveling alone, it's a "personal time" to face nature and calm your mind.
It is also popular with tourists from overseas, and is a spot where you can experience the beauty of Japanese "silence" 🌍
📍Access
Take the Kyoto Bus from Kyoto Station to "Ohara" (about 1 hour), get off at the last stop "Ohara", and walk for about 10 minutes.
*Since it is a mountain village, we recommend wearing comfortable walking shoes.
Sanzenin is a place where you can get away from the hustle and bustle and encounter "true tranquility".
When traveling in Kyoto, be sure to visit this healing space 🍃✨
