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.
As others have mentioned skip the crowds and head here instead for a bamboo forest experience beside the temple. We came close to closing time and were essentially alone. It was a really cool to sit in the quiet and listen to the wind comb through. At one point the temple was burning incense and the slightest whiff of it, was just magical.

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
