Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple in Kyoto is a hidden gem tucked away in the hills of Arashiyama. This off-the-beaten-path temple boasts a quirky collection of 1200 unique and whimsical statues, each carved by amateurs with their own creative flair. From statues holding tennis rackets to ones rocking out with old-school Walkmans, this temple is a fun and fascinating spot for adventurous visitors looking for something different in Kyoto.
