The Sanzen-in temple is the main attraction not to be missed. This Buddhist temple of the Tendai sect, founded in 784 by Saichō, is nestled in the heart of lush vegetation. The omnipresent moss, with a very photogenic colour, accentuates the feeling of well-being. The temple has several buildings, gardens and footpaths to explore as you wish. There is a very popular statue of Buddha Amida dating from the 900s. The proximity of the cypress trees also makes it one of the most popular places in the area of Kyōto.

Jardin un peu excentré par rapport à Kyoto (environ 15min de bus), mais cela vaut le détour. La particularité de ce jardin est qu'au lieu de l'herbe, c'est la mousse qui domine ! Et les petites statues de mini bonzes disséminées un peu partout dans le jardin peuvent éventuellement donner lieu à une petite chasse au trésor.

La petite ville d'O'hara vaut le détour pour ses temples à l'abri des touristes et pour découvrir la campagne japonaise. Le temple Sanzen-in est particulièrement intéressante pour la beauté de son jardin.
