My Trip

A filial route avoiding slopes and crowds, centered on gardens and gentle scenery. Begin at the moss garden of Ohara Sanzen-in, then Heian Shrine's Shin'en, the Nanzen-ji aqueduct, and the flat Philosopher's Path. Designed to savor deep atmosphere without strain.

Itinerary

1
Ohara Sanzen-in Temple大原三千院

A famed moss-garden temple in a mountain village in northern Kyoto. The little jizo statues on the green moss are endearing, and the seclusion away from city crowds leaves a deep impression on parents.

3
Nanzen-ji Aqueduct南禅寺水路閣
Higashiyama · Temple · Nature · 50 min stay
A Meiji-era brick arch aqueduct blending uniquely with the temple. A flat sight to take in slowly together with the giant Sanmon gate.
