What other travelers are saying about Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple
Beautiful and tranquil, definitely worth visiting. It’s 500 yen per person. We got there a little before 9AM and they open at 9AM. When we got there it was pretty empty with just 2-3 other guests.
Autumn in late November. The 500 Yen ticket is very affordable because we can enjoy the beautiful park. We used bicycles to get here, but walking is also fun. Highly recommended.
For ¥500, you can have the bamboo forest all to yourself for picture taking. It’s a very serene site with a short climb to the top. The area houses a shrine and it’s located in a very nice residential district
A mysterious and magical temple in arashiyama, it cost around ¥500 per person to enter, open from around 8 AM to 4.30 PM. The temple offer an amazing experience and exotic view, since it also function as cemetery.
Near the temple you can find a bamboo path, very similar but not as long as Arashiyama Bamboo forest, it's a very good alternative / option to take some photo with the ambience just like the one in arashiyama bamboo forest, but without any crowd, it's good as an alternative if you want to avoid crowd in arashiyama bamboo forest.
The temple is not very big, but trust me it's very worth visiting, you can go there by bus that depart from the bus station in front of arashiyama bamboo forest, or take a 10 minutes walk from Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple. Very recommended!👌
It is a very fascinating temple, believed to be dedicated to the souls of those who have died without any surviving relatives. Each of these souls is commemorated with a statue that tells their story or represents it.
One of the most enchanting parts is this small bamboo forest that you will find going straight on at the entrance and then on the left side. There was no one there when I visited the place, and it is as beautiful as the one in Arashiyama in my opinion. Even better because there are no crowds. I hope that mass tourism does not turn it into an overly crowded place.
The entrance fee was mandatory, but it was still a symbolic amount.
Inside, you can also ask for the 御朱印 (stamp).
Enjoy the place!
