El templo es precioso y visitarlo en otoño es un momento particular con colores que parecen de otro planeta! Es súper tranquilo y aunque había muchos visitantes la visita se puede hacer tranquilamente! Los trmplos son exquisitos, los jardines fantasticos! Me encanto!

Templo fantástico en la ladera de la montaña. Una pagoda en la zona alta desde la que tener una panorámica de la ciudad. Se respiraba tranquilidad en muchos rincones. Había personal haciendo mantenimiento de los jardines; parece muy cuidado.
