Más allá de las descripciones las fotos y los vídeos para mí es un lugar francamente increíble visítalo con calma pasea disfruta y eso sí procura venir a primera hora de la mañana antes de que se llene de ríos de turistas un lugar imprescindible si vienes a Kioto. Recomendable venir en otoño en la temporada de Momiji
Muy bonito lugar. Acojedor, silencioso, listo para apreciarse y relajarse. Tienes que quitarte los zapatos para entrar. Es un buen lugar para conocer.
Es muy hermoso, es extremadamente tranquilo, realmente no se porque pero es muy relajante y no es nada caro la entrada
