What other travelers are saying about Tenryu-ji Temple
Very gorgeous! There was light drizzling when we visited and it was so nice walking around the temple premises with our umbrellas and nearby the small lake. This was a perfect stroll after our heavy lunch. Do visit! I recommend this place
One of the several UNESCO World Heritage sites in Kyoto. Stunning Zen garden and historical significance. The temple blends traditional architecture with serene landscapes, featuring a pond, meticulously raked gravel, and lush greenery. The views of the Arashiyama mountains are gorgeous and enhance the experience.
This is a UNESCO site; the gardens are beautiful and worth walking around. Like many Japanese tourist sites, there is a separate entry fee to enter the temple itself. We thought the garden walk was a good enough experience on its own. There are some nice views; this is a nice example of an authentic Zen garden. Tenryu-ji is worth a visit as part of seeing the Bamboo Forest and other sites in the area.
Really nice temple close to the bamboo forest. Probably a must if you go to the forest. We pay a ticket of 500 yenes and if you want to visit the inside of the temple you need to pay 300 yenes more. Go early!
● Tenryu-ji Temple is➡️ 5 mins walk from Arashiyama Bamboo Forest Grove. It is also a famous Unesco heritage site. Despite the 3 degrees' icey wintry air, I managed to still myself to snap photos properly.
● Because I know scenic-vacation photos are extremely important to me. I can tolerate the frosty air, and take photos = becos pics serves as memories and momentos for me.
