Nanzen-ji Temple Garden

南禅寺方丈庭園

4.5Est. 45Kyoto, Kansai

The Meiji-era brick aqueduct, not the Hojo garden, is Nanzen-ji's startling centerpiece. Arrive before 9am to photograph its Roman-style arches without crowds. Many visitors skip the Tenju-an sub-temple, which has its own garden and the densest autumn foliage on the grounds for a separate fee.

Local tips

Arrive before 9 AM to photograph the aqueduct without crowds. The sub-temple Tenju-an has an equally beautiful garden that most visitors skip entirely.
