Kodaiji Temple

It is considered a Rinzai sect temple of Zen Buddhism which is very prominent in Higashiyama area. That is because whether it is the decoration or design the architecture of the building looks elegant Even the rock garden is in the Zen style that is designed to look like something, looking at it makes the mind incredibly calm. The use of pebbles is arranged to look like the vast ocean that even though it looks calm there are waves hidden in that calmness. Especially during spring or winter, it is special that the garden is illuminated. This is the best time to visit. Access About 20 minutes on foot from Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan Railway or from Kawaramachi Station on the Hankyu Railway Or take the Kyoto City Bus No. 206 from Kyoto Station and get off at the Higashiyama Yasui stop Then walk for about 5 minutes. #visitkyoto #kyoto #kyototravel #kyototrip #autumnleaves #kodaiji #japantrip #japan
