What To Expect

1

Nanzenji Tenju-an

Tenjuan Garden: Tenjuan, a sub-temple of Nanzen-ji, offers a serene retreat with its two exquisite gardens: a tranquil dry landscape garden (karesansui) and a lush pond garden. Originally built in 1337 and reconstructed in 1602, the temple buildings are closed to the public, but the gardens are open for visitors. Hidden within the temple complex, Tenjuan is renowned for its moss-covered pathways, koi-filled ponds, and vibrant bamboo grove. The garden's beauty is particularly striking in autumn, when the maple leaves turn brilliant shades of red and gold. Despite its proximity to popular Nanzen-ji, Tenjuan remains a peaceful haven, perfect for quiet reflection year-round.
