Tenryu-ji Temple is such a peaceful spot, and you’ll find it right near the iconic Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama.

The temple itself is stunning, with traditional architecture and a beautiful Zen garden that’s perfect for a quiet moment.

The views of the mountains are stunning, especially in autumn when the colors really pop.

If you're already heading to the Bamboo Forest, you might as well pop in here too. It's a little like stepping into a postcard.

Entrance Fee: ¥500 for the garden and it’s worth it. This spot gives you a real sense of Kyoto’s beauty and serenity.
