Yanagidani Kannon (Yokoku-ji Temple) in Nagaokakyo City is a hidden gem near Kyoto, known for its stunning eleven-faced, thousand-armed Kannon statue. Nestled on the mountainside, the temple boasts a scenic garden and a historic study room with a killer view. Don't miss the hydrangea path in summer and the fiery autumn foliage display. Plus, rumor has it that the holy water here can work wonders for your eyes!
