Nanzen-ji temple(南禅寺), a perfect place to hang out

Nanzen-ji temple is really nice because the garden is very large and the admission fee to go inside garden is free. So you can go there to hang out, if you want to just relax and spend easygoing time. And also, if you pay some hundred yen, you can enter the old historical buildings in the temple. They are also great. 



It's the gateway in the photo. You see the characters, which are kanji. It's written "大本山南禅寺", Daihonzan-Nanzen-ji. Daihonzan means one of the special temple of a Buddhism sect. 


Here is one of the best place to take a rest. It's another gateway in that temple. They're not sitting on a bench. It's a wooden threshold of the gateway, yet very nice to sit down. The height is just for you all to sit down! 



One of the main building. Feeling the history of Japan, please take a look. But, sometimes those kind of buildings look just same. Well, if I watch photos of 1000 temples, I can never tell for one from others. That's normal.

But, actually, temples has their own characteristics. That's why we can enjoy every temple one by one.


Oh, oh, what's this? It's one of the characteristic of Nanzen-ji temple. It's in that temple's garden.

I wrote a little too much in this article. So I will show what is this next time when I upload a article. See you then!!
