A wooden board in Nanzen-ji temple(南禅寺, なんぜんじ)

In Nanzen-ji temple which is famous for colored leaves in autumn, I found the wooden board.


That says "When you go inside the gate, cool breezes come to you". 
I can't translate it properly because it's a haiku(俳句). So it should sound very beautiful.



Beside the wooden board, there's a stone with characters. It says the same thing, and the way to write is kind of calligraphy style.

Yeah, both say that if you go to Nanzen-ji temple and pass through the gate, you will feel special breezes. The temperature is getting low in this season. But, the day time is still hot. Enjoy the breezes in the temple!
