Ninna-ji Temple in Kyoto is a breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage site, one of my favorites in Japan! Rich in history, established in 888 AD, and of cultural significance. Stunning architecture, beautiful gardens, and the iconic Goju-no-To (Five Story Pagoda) - all in one. A profound connection to Japan's heritage.
It's a nice temple, though a little bit pricey. Only went to the Emporers garden, which was beautiful, though some of the buildings were under construction. If you are in the area, I would only recommend it if it's Sakura season.
I visited this temple mostly because it was near the Golden Pavilion, but boy was I glad I did. This was easily one of the most beautiful (and peaceful/quiet) temples I saw in Kyoto. The garden was amazing, the five-story pagoda was impressive, and there were beautiful sights all around. Definitely would recommend visiting
