Tenryu-ji

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.

One of the several UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kyoto. Stunning Zen garden and historical significance. The temple blends traditional architecture with serene landscapes, featuring a pond, meticulously raked gravel, and lush greenery. The views of the Arashiyama mountains are gorgeous and enhance the experience.

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

Beautiful gardens. Magnificent bamboo forest but a lot of people on narrow trails. One steep grade and many steps.

Tenryu-ji, the world heritage site was built in 1345, being rank No.1 of the five mountains in Kyoto. It is not quite a traditional temples for prayers but Zen flower gardens for relax and meditation. There are many great spots for photos. Highly recommend !

Beautiful site of the first Rinzai Zen Buddhist Temple originally constructed in the 14th century. Tranquil expansive gardens, monuments and shrines. Many wheelchair ramps. Surrounded by bamboo forest. Was fortunate to have a gourmet Monks Vegetarian Lunch at the Arashiyama Station on site. Excellent facilities with many shops, specialty boutique shops and street vendors outside the gates. Highly recommended.

This is a UNESCO site; the gardens are beautiful and worth walking around. Like many Japanese tourist sites, there is a separate entry fee to enter the temple itself. We thought the garden walk was a good enough experience on its own. There are some nice views; this is a nice example of an authentic Zen garden. Tenryu-ji is worth a visit as part of seeing the Bamboo Forest and other sites in the area.

Absolutely stunning spot. Worth the crowds which mainly go the rough the bamboo forest. Take the path of and pay ¥600 entry fee for a stunning visit.
