A very rare special visit ☺️Sairaiin Temple, a subtemple of Kenninji Temple💙☕️A limited-time collaboration with Blue Bottle Coffee☕️💙

This time, we will introduce Seirai-in, a sub-temple of Kennin-ji Temple, which is famous in Kyoto. Seirai-in, located just inside the north gate of Kennin-ji Temple, has been closed to the public for a long time, but it has undergone a major renovation and will be open for special viewing from Saturday, March 23, 2024. Don't miss the collaboration with Blue Bottle Coffee, which is also popular in Kyoto ☕️ A Blue Bottle Coffee truck will appear in the temple grounds, and you can enjoy your coffee or latte ordered from there inside the hall while looking out at the garden called Jiuhua Seiren. In that case, there is also a special system where you can get a 100 yen discount on the 500 yen admission fee ☺️ In addition, this temple has many works by contemporary artists dedicated to it, and the two dragons painted on the ceiling are particularly eye-catching in the main hall 🐉 "White Dragon" by Chinese artist Chen Man is a spectacular work that covers the entire ceiling! Furthermore, the "Chinese Lion Screen" by Chen Man is on display inside the hall, allowing you to enjoy the powerful space of the dragon and lion. The gardens are also wonderfully designed by the Nakane Garden Institute, which follows in the footsteps of Nakane Kinsaku, known as the Showa era's Kobori Enshu, and the three gardens are planted with a total of about 1,200 orchids and autumn leaves, fitting for the name "Orchid Temple." You're sure to enjoy the beautiful scenery during the orchid and autumn leaf seasons☺️💐🍁 If you're in Kyoto, be sure to stop by! ✨🍃Sairain🍃✨🗓March 23rd (Sat) - December 31st (Tue) 2024⏰10:00-17:00💰500 yen. 100 yen off if you order with Blue Bottle Coffee🚌5 minutes walk from the city bus stop "Higashiyama Yasui"※The Blue Bottle Coffee truck will be open until July 31st (Wed), 2024.
