What other travelers are saying about Daigo-ji Temple
We visited the temple and garden today. We didn’t have much else planned for our last day in Kyoto and thought this would be a good way to end it. I can say it definitely was worth the visit. We were pretty amazed at how old some of the structures were and the artwork inside the temple was incredible!!
My favourite place in Kyoto!
Visited in October and there were only a handful of people around, which made it really special to explore.
The beauty around the premises is serene, unlike any other of the previous temples and gardens I visited in Japan.
Beautiful place. Definitely attempt to go here early morning to avoid the crowds. We arrived here at 9am and stayed for 2 hours. The entire experience was like a personal tour for ourselves with no outside noise like every other temple in Japan. Perhaps we got lucky, but this place is definitely amplified by the seasons - lucky folks might get the infamous red leaves during the fall!
Ignora the other reviews. The garden is nice and it's more than 2 minutes and you can get a lot of history there. The garden is also now included in the price to go see the other section of the area. When we arrived there was a lot of parking available and it is a paid parking lot. They're optional hiking trails if you want to do that. We didn't hike and we probably spent about 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours here. This area is absolutely gorgeous and we highly recommend it.
This has some of the best gardens in Kyoto and a wonderful museum with antique statues, also large weeping cherries lit up at night which I unfortunately missed.
