We started our day in Kyoto at
Kinkaku-
ji which was the same as I remembered it, but more crowded. It is nice, but not my favorite mostly due to the crowds.
Our next stop was the
Daitoku-
ji temple complex.
The complex is made up of 22 sub-temples some of which can be toured a la
carte fashion. I had planned to see the
Ryogen temple for its Rock Gardens, but the monks were apparently busy because it was temporarily closed during the time we were there. Instead we saw
Daisen-in
Third stop was
Ginkaku-
ji which is currently
under construction, but was still worth seeing on
account of the grounds.
From
Ginkaku-
ji it made sense to have lunch along the
Philosopher's Path.
The final temple stop of the evening was
Nanzen-
ji, like
Daitoku-
ji a temple complex made up of several
separate points of interest.
We had planed to see
Hojo but became a bit confused by the different options and ended up at
Nanzen-in garden instead.
