Tenryu-ji is a kickass Zen temple in Kyoto's beautiful Saga Arashiyama area. It's got UNESCO World Heritage status, so you know it's legit. The place is all about that Rinzai Zen vibe and has some seriously cool stuff to check out, like the Cloud Dragon Painting. Oh, and don't forget to hit up Shigetsu, their Zen vegetarian restaurant – it's the bomb! If you're in Kyoto, Tenryu-ji is definitely worth a visit for some chill Zen vibes and awesome sights.
