What other travelers are saying about Tofuku-ji Temple
One of the must visit temple in Kyoto. Walk around to enjoy the building architecture and gardens scenery. There’s entrance fee if you visit the zen garden and it’s quite impressing on how the setting of the Japanese Garden. You can enjoy the maple leaf around during autumn.
Kyoto temples and shrines are worth every footstep taken. Do not miss any of them. You can walk and see a vast majority of them in two days if you plan accordingly. Magical presence and you're in constant awe. The architecture, the feeling and the raw energy of these places is sacred to say the least.
Peaceful and beautiful. A wonder.
Visited on blistering hot day, but could admire the main areas (in the paid parts) under the shelter of the covered bridge and the Hojo’s veranda. Got taxi to avoid 12 minutes walk in heat back to train station. Best use of 500 yens!
🟨 Tofukuji Temple - Entry fee of ¥400 per adult. We came here a few years ago in late-winter and the whole place was very quiet and calm.
🟧 Sakura trees not in full bloom yet. But the moss carpet here is gorgeous. 🌿🍀 It is my favourite temple. So calm and serene.
We absolutely loved this temple. We have a Zen garden at home and wanted to see one in Kyoto. It was so serene and we enjoyed sitting on the steps in the shade looking at it for a while. Most of the temple is free but there is a small entrance fee for the Zen garden but it was worth every Yen to see and admire it.
