If you miss here during Kyoto trip, you will regret. Went for the autumn colours and they were stunning. Hosenin Temple is smaller than Sanjen Temple, however, it is worth a visit to have meditation and refresh. Don’t forget to take free tea and sweet. Hosenin has a beautiful garden just behind the ticketing counter that most visitors miss out on. The main garden with the 700-year-old tree shaped like Mt Fuji with its blood ceilings from Fushimi Castle are the main attraction. #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#langkawi#foodphotography#chinatown#ipoh#temples#familyfun#siemreap#edinburgh#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด

The courtyard of Baoquanyuan is its main attraction. The courtyard is not large. Its manicured shrubs, blooming trees and moss-covered rocks stand in front of the bamboo forest and can be seen in the background. view. The highlight of the garden is a 700-year-old pine, and the old branches are lifted with the help of wooden supports. Sitting in the main hall, take a bite of matcha, a bite and fruit, watching the bamboo and red leaves dotted the courtyard. Happy! Baoquanyuan, which is open all year round, the best time to visit is the new green, red leaf season and snowy day

If you are tired of the courtyard of a tourist, then Baoquanyuan will definitely calm your mind. Here, the "frontal garden" will make you lament that even the light changes and the rain is the scene. Foreground Garden means that people sit in the center of the temple to watch the garden. The view will be limited by the frame of the Japanese-style eaves. At this moment, the garden seems to be inlaid in a wooden frame, like a beautiful painting. This picture changes to a different picture as the viewer's position and light changes. The growth and glory of the vegetation in the garden, sunny or rainy, it will present a variety of four seasons of color. Baoquanyuan also has a special feature of water bamboo. The bamboo extends to the ground and can clearly hear the clear dripping sound, just like dialing the moving strings. Close your eyes and listen to the sound of water bamboo. The time seems to be still. Address: Kyoto City, Kyoto, Zuojing District, Ohara, Kyu-Yin-cho, 187 Visiting time: 9:00 - 17:00 Tickets: 800 yen (with matcha and fruit) Tour time: Free And
