Ahh and don’t go to Arishitama bamboo forest , instead go to ADASHINO NENBUTSU-JI temple, no many people go there and you can take the best photo with a bamboo forest only for you ( picture #1 ).

The word Huayuan is sad. In ancient times, the war was constant, and those who had no relatives and no wars were mostly buried in the wilderness. Huaye Buddhist Temple was originally a place of burial. The master of the empty sea that was founded in this courtyard built a temple with great compassion and surpassed countless wilderness souls. The most striking thing in the temple is the Eight Thousand Stone Pagodas. Every August, thousands of lights are supported, attracting countless souls to return. Address: 17/hh, Okinawa-cho, Kanagawa-cho, Kanazawa-ku, Kyoto City Opening hours: 9:00~16:30 Tickets: 500 yen Touring time: 45 minutes
