This garden is not as well known as some of the other Kyoto sites, so it was not crowded. It was nice in winter, but I can imagine the Japanese maple trees in autumn and the cherry blossoms in spring. The entry fee is 500 yen and visitors are given a nice color booklet.

This is a great place to visit and is within walking distance of Kyoto Station.
It looks like a good hike and sightseeing opportunity. We have sun and warmer temperatures today, we got to see a Peregrine Falcon perched on a beach cliff surveying its territory on our hike.
Lovely place and not crowds of people!

I do love Japanese gardens. That looks like a lovely spot to visit.
ReplyDeleteI like the shadow picture form the bridge. It all looks so serene and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty garden, but I agree that it would probably be even more impressive during another season!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and tranquil, Pamela. Sometimes those lesser known spots are hidden gems. I think this might be one.
