What other travelers are saying about Eikando Zenrin-ji
Here is a very representative temple in Kyoto. Its architectural style is unique, but unfortunately, there are many visitors, making it difficult to quietly and thoroughly appreciate every detail. Many people are taking photos, and some even climb over the barriers to strike strange poses for the photographers, which disrupts the tranquility that the temple should have. I hope the temple can implement a reservation system and limit the number of visitors, so that each tourist's experience can be improved, and it will be more conducive for those who truly love temple culture to come and enjoy the visit.
Big beautiful temple, slightly off the beaten path.
Take your time here, and plan for plenty of stairs as it's built on a mountain side.
Please follow the rules and be polite. This is a place of worship. No pictures or videos inside buildings. There is plenty of gorgeous places to record.
Also if you go to the pagoda be prepped for a ton of stairs.
And after the interior section, be sure to stroll through the lovely garden and ponds.
We visited this Temple and were enchanted by its serene beauty. The temple’s gracefully tiered buildings are connected by covered wooden walkways and stone staircases, creating a peaceful atmosphere
An amazing place and find! We were walking to another recommended temple in the area when we came across this beautiful place. We spent so much time here we didn't end up getting to our destination 😂. Wonderfully restored and kept buildings and garden
Beautiful and majestic temple. Just off the philosophers path and a wonderful way to spend some time as you approach the end of the path. Also found what appeared to be an aquaduct within the grounds.
