Our Favourites

  • Rurikoin‌——Open the gate and you will be surrounded by "fresh green". The emerald light and shadow reflected on the lacquered table is like a flowing oil painting. The summer-only "Moss Garden" is a special summer poem. (Tickets are at your own expense)
  • Sanzenin‌——The ancient trees are towering and moss is everywhere. The cute Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva hides in the forest on the moss. Sit in the "Jubi Garden" to drink matcha and listen to the stream. The coolness is refreshing. In July, the place will be full of colorful hydrangeas. (Tickets and meals are at your own expense)
  • Kifune Shrine‌——A natural air-conditioned room in the back mountain of Kyoto. During the flowing riverbed cuisine, the gurgling stream flows under your feet.
