A More Balanced Kyoto Temple Experience

Though the temple and garden were lovely, the rock section of the garden was a bit too zen for my taste. I've seen other rock gardens that, despite being less renowned, were more to my liking. With so many temples in Kyoto and not enough time, I regret not choosing one of the lesser-known temples in the area over this location.
