Following the last time, I introduce summer Kyoto with the keyword "green".

This time, I introduce Sanzen-in Temple which is a famous temple located in Ohara district (Kyoto north).

This temple has a very characteristic and beautiful garden which uses the trees of the forest as it is.

In this season, this temple is colored in beautiful greens made of the lush trees and the moss.



One more characteristic of this garden is abundant water.

In this garden, there are some ponds and stream flow, and many chōzubachi are located.


... Stone Buddha statues looks like comfortable.


Near here, there is Hosen-in Temple which is very famous for a frame garden and a big japanese white pine.

These temples are located in the place that takes about an hour by bus from Kyoto Station.

But, here is the best recommended places in this season to avoid intense heat in the city center.
