What other travelers are saying about Eikando Zenrin-ji
A beautiful Buddhist temple located at the end of the Philosopher’s Path that prides themselves and being known for their fall foliage.
A MUST visit if you’re in Kyoto during the maple leaves changing colors. We saw a rainbow of colors from greens to yellows to oranges to reds. Absolutely incredible. Sometimes it feels as though you are walking through tree tunnels as a canopy of rainbow maple leaves dance above you.
It gets very crowded compared to other temples in the area. Be prepared to be around a lot of people.
Allow plenty of time for your visit, you won’t want to rush through this experience.
Restrooms are located near the exit.
One of my favorite temples in Kyoto! It's peaceful, so you can wander around without getting caught up in a crowd of people. The red leaves on the trees make for a mystical atmosphere!
The little pond with the carp is sumptuous. The interior of the temple is also very beautiful, and walking around barefoot or in socks makes you feel like you've stepped out of time!
A must-see if you're visiting Kyoto!
This temple was really beautiful! I would come back here in the autumn again. The leaves were really beautiful, the temple is big and the architecture is lovely as well. Worth the 1000 yen entry fee.
Kyoto itself is a popular tourist destination. It's not unexpected that this Temple was crowded with people, especially in the fall season.
The Autumn foliage was stunning.
We visited around mid morning and it was wonderful. So peaceful , great to get away from the crowds. The gardens are small but beautiful. You get a very good view from the walk to the top where the pagoda is.
Loved it!
