Hidden Zen

#springitinerary Komyoin Temple is one of those quiet spots in Kyoto that feels like a little secret, especially in spring. It’s tucked away, so no big crowds, just peaceful vibes, fresh green leaves, and soft cherry blossom petals floating around. The temple’s small but packed with zen energy: think moss-covered grounds, old wooden buildings, and tiny stone lanterns that make you wanna slow your whole life down. Spring here is like nature hitting the refresh button. The gardens are simple but stunning, perfect for just sitting back and soaking it all in. It’s the kind of place where you can really feel the calm and forget you’re in a busy city. If you’re into chill walks, spiritual feels, and a quiet slice of Kyoto’s temple scene, Komyoin in spring is a sweet little escape. Lowkey magical and totally worth the visit.
