What visitors say
Located in a quiet environment away from central Kyoto, the temple features moss-covered stone paths and lush greenery, creating a serene atmosphere. It is a famous spot for autumn foliage. At the Sekisui-in, a National Treasure, visitors can view replicas of the 'Birds, Beasts, and Humans in Play' and the statue of the Bodhisattva Sudhana. As the path from the main gate involves an uphill walk, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes.
