This photo was taken in one my favorite temples in Kyoto. It’s not only one of the most serene and elegant ones I know of, it also seems almost completely unknown to the public. I was therefore able to peacefully take photos without having to battle with dozens of other tourists!
This particular room has an incredible view on the garden but the 4 openings will give you completely different views. From left to right: a camellia tree, a lantern, a maple tree and a pine tree. As you may expect, this view is only possible from a very specific point in the room.
If you are interested in visiting this temple, feel free to contact me for more information 😉
