Besides cherry blossoms, the vibrant azaleas, fresh green moss, and towering ancient trees also offer stunning scenery. The most convenient way to reach Ohara Sanzen-in is by bus. First, take the subway to Kokusaikaikan Station, then transfer to a bus to reach the temple.

After visiting Osaka N times, I finally came up with a great 4-day tour guide for Kansai 📖. I recommend spending 1️⃣ days in Osaka, 2️⃣ days in Kyoto, and if there is still time, add 1️⃣ day in Nara. Osaka and Kyoto are both in Kansai, but they are completely different styles, but both are super suitable for taking pictures. You can appreciate the unique beauty of the ancient city, avoid the crowds as much as possible, and take pictures at the same time. Friends who are visiting Osaka for the first time can copy it with confidence! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : ☑️ When traveling in Japan, many places can be reached within a 10-minute walk. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery while walking. At this time, music is like adding BGM to the scenery along the way. When I travel, I always bring LIBRATONE's new Bird UP headphones with me. Their design is very different from other headphones, simple yet refined. They are also very light, so I won't feel uncomfortable even if I use them for a long time during long journeys. It is an open-back headphone that allows you to hear the melody of music while feeling the natural sounds around you, making your trip full of a different atmosphere. Moreover, it has a high dust and water resistance rating (IP57), making it suitable for all scenarios and weather conditions. Friends who like outdoor activities, sports, travel, and daily music listening, don't miss it~ #大坂之旅

Absolutely loved this temple, the architecture was gorgeous, the atmosphere was very peaceful. Paid for the tea serving and it tasted like the forest itself. I visited in autumn, and although it was very warm in Kyoto, it did get a bit chilly so I’d definitely recommend bringing a windbreaker. A quietly environment, feeling calm when you entered into it. The scent is subtle but makes you feeling fulfilled and calm for the whole day. The restaurant near to it served healthy food with a nice vibe #songkran2024#mytravelhacks#cherryblossom2024#historicallandmarks#localguides#familytrip#trip#instatravel#goodfoods#langkawi#foodphotography#chinatown#ipoh#temples#familyfun#siemreap#edinburgh#คาเฟ่ห้ามพลาด

🍵Sanzen-in Temple is a place I like very much. Compared with other famous temples, it has fewer tourists visiting it. So you can feel a relatively leisurely and quiet atmosphere here. 🍵Although I came here during the weekend, I still felt the leisure time. Fortunately, it was a cool and sunny day, which added a lot to the whole experience. 🍵This is a very beautiful and elegant temple. The entire Sanqianyuan area is very large, and the buildings are very historical and beautiful. These buildings are completely integrated into the environment of the mountains and forests. If you come here in late autumn, you can see the whole mountain covered with red maple leaves. 🍵You need to walk about 600 meters of mountain road before entering Sanqianyuan. There are many green stalls along the way, and some local agricultural products are worth buying. #Osaka Attractions

I went to Sanzenin Temple, where you can enjoy Kyoto's beautiful gardens. In the garden of this historic Buddhist temple, you can enjoy hydrangeas in the rainy season and autumn leaves in the fall. The garden, covered in beautiful moss, was very beautiful. Because it is a little far from the center of Kyoto, there were fewer tourists than temples in the center, so I was able to leisurely enjoy the beautiful garden.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 At Sanzen-in Temple in Kyoto, moss is a major feature of the garden, covering every inch of the garden and forming a unique green landscape. These mosses shine with vitality under the sunlight, making people feel the tranquility and harmony of nature. Strolling along the trails of Sanzen-in Temple, you will be surrounded by a tranquil atmosphere, and the soft touch of the moss and the fresh scent will make you feel happy. This is an ideal place for meditation and relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and immersed in the beauty of nature. Sanzen-in Temple is not only a great place to appreciate moss, but also has ancient temples and beautiful gardens that are worth savoring.

Beyond the bustling ancient capital, there is a corner that has been gently treated by time—Sanzen-in Temple. Located in the mountains of Ohara, Kyoto, this ancient Tendai sect temple is a true "secluded secret realm." Walking slowly along the bluestone mountain road, the shadows of the trees are whirling, and the mountain breeze is blowing on your face. The hustle and bustle of the world gradually fades away, leaving only the breath of nature and the echo of the heart. Stepping into Sanzen-in Temple, the first thing that catches your eye is the garden covered with thick moss—Yusei-en Garden. In the spring, the green leaves are like clouds, falling on the verdant moss surface, making people hold their breath. And the round and chubby little Jizo statues hidden in the mossy ground have a naive smile, as if guarding this pure land, bringing gentle comfort to visitors. Deep inside the temple, the ancient halls, the wooden windows engraved with traces of time, and the curling smoke of incense together create a quiet spiritual space. This is not only a temple, but also a haven for the soul. Looking out from the courtyard, the distant mountains and nearby waters are full of colorful forests. The entire Ohara area is surrounded by green leaves, like a still watercolor painting. 🧭[Recommended transportation]: Because Sanzen-in Temple is located in the Ohara area in the northern suburbs of Kyoto, public transportation is relatively inconvenient. It is recommended to choose a chartered car, which is comfortable and saves time. It can be arranged together with the nearby Jakkoin Temple and Hosen-in Temple to form a day trip. [Address]: 540 Ohararaikoin-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto-shi, Kyoto Prefecture 🕰[Opening hours]: 09:00 - 17:00 (It is recommended to enter the park in advance during peak autumn foliage season) 🎫[Ticket price reference]: JPY 700 (may be slightly adjusted depending on the season) 💡[Special recommendation]: It is recommended to visit in the early morning or evening, when there are fewer people and the scenery is quiet, so you can best feel the Zen beauty of Sanzen-in Temple. If you yearn for the kind of undisturbed, and want to find a quiet corner of your own in Kyoto, then be sure not to miss Sanzen-in Temple. Here, time does not urge people—only the heart-to-heart connection between you and nature.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 As one of the most famous temples in Kyoto, Sanzen-in Temple has a long history and unique cultural atmosphere. The garden here is very peaceful, especially the lush woods and pond, which make people feel like they are walking into a paradise. It is a great place for a quiet stroll and to admire the temple’s exquisite architecture and grounds.

#springitinerary It’s tucked away in this peaceful little village called Ohara, just outside Kyoto, and honestly, the vibe is pure magic. The temple itself is beautiful, sure, but the real star is the garden. Moss everywhere. Like, soft, green, dreamy moss that looks like it came out of a Studio Ghibli movie. There are these cute little stone Buddha statues peeking out of the moss, and the whole place is surrounded by tall cedars, so it feels like a forest hideout. You can sit inside the temple, sip some tea, and just stare out at the garden in total silence, it’s the chillest moment ever. It’s not super touristy, so it feels like your own little escape. Perfect for a slow day when you want to get out of the city and breathe fresh mountain air. Quiet, calm, mossy bliss. Total zen vibes.

Sanzen-in Temple: A Whimsical and Fantastic Journey Beyond the hustle and bustle of the city lies a place that feels like a paradise on earth—Sanzen-in Temple. When you first hear this name, you might wonder: is this a mysterious place with three thousand courtyards, or a dreamland with three thousand legendary stories? The moment you step into Sanzen-in, it's as if you've entered a fairy tale world forgotten by time. The trees lining the path are like enthusiastic, hospitable little sprites, their branches dancing joyfully in the breeze with a "rustle, rustle, rustle"—their way of singing a welcoming melody. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the foliage, casting dappled shadows that spread across the ground like a golden carpet of scattered flowers. Walking further, you'll come across a small pond. Lotus leaves float on the water's surface like little green umbrellas, arranged in a pleasing pattern. Water droplets on the leaves resemble translucent pearls, glistening with colorful light in the sunshine. Occasionally, playful little fish swim beneath the lotus leaves, creating ripples that transform the once-calm surface into a lively ink painting. Following the path along the pond, you'll reach the core area of Sanzen-in—the diverse courtyards. Each courtyard is like its own little universe, with a unique style and story. Some courtyards are filled with vibrant flowers—red like fire, pink like sunset clouds, white like snow. When the breeze passes through, the fragrance envelops you, making you feel as if you're in an enormous greenhouse. In other courtyards, you'll find oddly shaped stones—some resembling majestic lions, others like adorable pandas, and some like mysterious aliens—inviting you to explore their secrets. In the corners of these courtyards, you might discover charming little objects. Perhaps an old bird's nest hanging crookedly from a branch, seemingly telling stories of the joyful times of birds that once lived there. Or maybe a small scarecrow wearing an old shirt and a tattered hat, holding a long bamboo pole and waving at passersby as if to say, "Welcome to Sanzen-in, the most interesting place in the world!" As evening approaches, the setting sun casts its glow on every corner of Sanzen-in, draping the entire place in a golden veil.
