Tenryuji means Temple of the Heavenly Dragon. And that’s the most curious part of this temple. Start from one side of the temple and look up at the dragon on the ceiling and slowly walk around the room still looking at the dragon. It appears...More
This is the most important temple in the Arashiayma district and rated the first of the 5 most important ZEN-tempels in Kyoto. Tenryuji was built in 1339 by the ruling "Shogun". The buildings were often destroyed in wars or by fires and the actual buildings...More
We visited during Cherry Blossom Season and this place was AMAZING! Several large weeping cherry blossoms really steal the show... but, the temple itself and the grounds are so beautiful. It is also really close to the Bamboo Forest, so you can easily do both...More

Visited this, the bamboo grove and monkey park all in one afternoon after arriving from Tokyo to Kyoto by Shinkansen Hikari. We didn’t pay to enter the temple as we didn’t think our kids would appreciate it but was able to take some nice pics...More
