4 Kyoto⛩️🇯🇵 lesser-known temple tour routes 🌿

Every June and July, I will think of Hayao Miyazaki's summer! I came to Kyoto City Walk again~ After visiting the bookstore at Ichijoji Temple, I decided to visit the surrounding niche temples in the afternoon. Compared with the popular Kiyomizu Temple, it is so comfortable! There are basically only two or three people in each courtyard, which is very suitable for people who like quietness 🏯 🚶 My route Shugakuin Imperial Villa ➡️ Enkoji Temple ➡️ Shisen-do Temple ➡️ Tanukiyama Fudoin Temple 📍 Shugakuin Imperial Villa You need to make an appointment for a guided tour in advance, and you cannot visit it by yourself. It includes three imperial palaces, each with a corresponding garden. I thought it would be as exquisite as Katsura Imperial Villa, but I didn't expect it to be more simple � 📍 Enkoji Temple I like it very much~The temple founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, later became a women's college, and is also a famous place for viewing maple leaves. The 2 famous dry landscape gardens in the temple are the Ryuu-tei and the Ten-Oxen-tei. 🌲 When I entered the garden, there was a Japanese man sitting in the yard. I also found a place to sit and stare at the bamboo forest. I could hear the sound of the trees and the wind, and the sound of the water harp cave next to it was very Zen. I really like this quiet Kyoto. Because the terrain is relatively high, you can also overlook the city 🎋 📍 Shixiantang Shixiantang means "the hermit's retreat". The master of Chinese studies, landscape designer Ishikawa Jōzan, built a retreat villa for himself. There are portraits of 36 ancient Chinese poets hanging inside 🖼️ It is also a place I like very much. Compared with Yuanguang Temple, there are slightly more people. In spring, there are blue-purple Gaoyue azaleas. There are many places to sit. Walking into the courtyard, there is a feeling of winding paths. I want to go again in winter ❄️ 📍 Tanukiyama Fudoin You need to climb 250 steps. There are hundreds of stone statues of raccoons of various sizes in the temple, with various expressions and looks, which are very interesting. There are few tourists, but many elderly people come here, which is said to be healthy 🦊 #Register for tripbest July hotel tester #Tokyo itinerary #Japan #Japanese attractions
