Otro gran templo, con una puerta espectacular! Vayan si visitan Fushimi Inari (es súper cerca). Vale la pena también ver los jardines y el puente (con un pequeño costo: 1.000 yenes por persona

Lindo y majestuoso templo. Por su tamaño y hermosos jardines. Una visita corta es más que suficiente.

Excelente destino después de iniciar el día en Fushimi Inari - Taisha ya que el recorrido a pie es corto y se pueden apreciar algunas calles y hogares de Kyoto. No se le da el crédito suficiente a este lugar en redes sociales por lo que la visita fue una grata sorpresa. Afortunadamente no había mucha gente cuando fuimos al ser temprano. Es un lugar muy agradable, transmite mucha paz y respeto. Al ser un templo es muy importante comportarse. Se pueden tomar buenas fotos de algunos ángulos sin ser irrespetuosos. Recomiendo mucho que la visita a este lugar si sea justo después de visitar Fushimi Inari - Taisha
