NANZENJI TEMPLENanzenji Temple Kyoto is popular temple complex with a distinctive two-storey entrance gate (sanmon) and aqueduct. Nanzenji Temple is close to Kyoto's Philosopher's Walk.Nanzenji Temple complex is quite large, which means that
it doesn't seem as crowded as many of the other temples in
Kyoto. Open daily, 8.30am-5pm (4:30pm Dec to Feb). Walking around the
main Nanzenji Temple complex and along the aqueduct is free, but there are
three regions of Nanzenji that you can pay to enter;
Nanzen-in Zen Temple - a small, but relaxing temple and moss garden behind the aqueduct, dating back to the 13th century, charges ¥300 for admission, and is probably only worth it if you have a particular interest in Zen Buddhism.
Hojo - the abbot's quarters, is a more interesting building, with a small
raked gravel Japanese garden
and some impressive paintings on the sliding doors of the buildings.
Admission is ¥500. Nanzenji Temple TransportNearest bus stop: Nanzenji, Eikando-michi. Nearest subway station: Keage. Official Web Site: http://www.nanzenji.com/english/ Kyoto Hotels
