What other travelers are saying about Tenryu-ji Temple
This temple was calm and nice with all trees. I came during Fall season and there was some change of color. There was Japanese style garden decorations. There were many locations for taking pictures.
A world heritage attraction to visit, need to pay for entry. A lot of tourists here, need to queue to find a good photo taking spot. The vibe here is very zen , can feel the breeze from other mountains. We enjoy the vibe here even though many tourists blocking our way.
Both the temple hall and the garden are pretty much well maintained, it's totally worth it if you visit both, especially during the rainy day. In the hall, there will be a Japanese style room to stay and relax yourself by looking and staring to the pond and green. Luckily, that day wasn't too crowded as it might be due to a rainy day. Otherwise , the hall might be overcrowded and hardly move around as the hall space is limited. PS: The entrance fee of the temple hall and the garden counts separately , total 800 yen for both places.
The cloud dragon painting in the Dharma hall looks amazing, but please note that photography is prohibited inside. The garden has some nice scenery that you will definitely like it.
Very gorgeous! There was light drizzling when we visited and it was so nice walking around the temple premises with our umbrellas and nearby the small lake. This was a perfect stroll after our heavy lunch. Do visit! I recommend this place
