[2025 Kyoto Attraction] Travel Guide for Sanzen-in (Updated May)

Ohara in northern Kyoto is famous for its autumn foliage, but it is also a great place to enjoy cherry blossoms in spring. Sanzen-in Temple in Ohara boasts a variety of cherry blossoms, including weeping cherry, sato-zakura, and Somei Yoshino cherry trees. These blossoms, combined with the traditional Japanese strolling garden, add vibrant colors and an elegant atmosphere. At the entrance of Sanzen-in, the Goten-mon gate is adorned with a lush weeping cherry tree. The pale pink and white petals add a touch of ancient elegance to the gate. 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.

Sanzen-in, is definitely my favorite place during my trip to Kyoto⛰️ Because Li Xian also went there😊😊 I went on a Monday, there were very few people, and it was very quiet! The towering trees in the Jodo Garden🌳🌳, the green moss on the ground Sunlight through The gaps between the leaves are scattered, and the light and shadow are swaying☀️ The eyes are full of green, really very healing🌱🌱 Sitting in front of the temple, you can't help but put down your phone🎵 Feel the wind, listen to the water flow, and breathe fresh air🍃 Enjoy the comfort brought by the green eyes🌿🍃

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.

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. Sitting on a bench in one of the courtyards, listening to the chirping insects and birds returning to their nests, feeling the gentle breeze on your face—all your worries and fatigue seem to melt away in the warm sunset air. Sanzen-in is not just a place of beautiful scenery; it's a sanctuary for the soul where you can forget your troubles and rediscover your childlike wonder. Here, you can explore, laugh, and play like a carefree child, discovering little surprises hidden in every corner. If you're longing for a different kind of journey, take a stroll through Sanzen-in—it will surely provide you with an unforgettable and magical experience!

#Osaka Itinerary Early in the morning, I came to Shitennoji Temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Osaka. It has stood for thousands of years and witnessed the changes of the city. I walked past the five-story pagoda and stepped onto the stone-paved approach to the temple. The sound of wind chimes reached my ears, and I suddenly felt calm inside. Afterwards, I took the train to Kyoto to visit Sanzen-in Temple hidden at the foot of Mount Hiei. This temple, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, is covered with lush cedar trees and moss. The stone lanterns and wooden doors at the entrance seem to tell of the peaceful years. I walked up the quiet stone steps and entered the garden. I saw a lush green moss carpet covering the entire temple. Several lovely "child Jizo" statues stood quietly among them, gazing at the visiting travelers with a smile. As you enter the temple, the warm sunlight shines through the paper door onto the tatami, and the air seems to be filled with history and Zen. I sat on the veranda, holding a cup of matcha, looking at the rippling water in the courtyard, and quietly feeling the calmness and tranquility of this land that has passed through thousands of years. At this moment, time seems to have slowed down, and only the sound of breeze blowing through the leaves accompanies this spiritual journey away from this world.

Are you still trying to visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple, Fushimi Inari Shrine, and Yasaka Shrine when traveling to Kyoto? These super popular attractions have long been commercialized, and the experience has been greatly reduced. I strongly recommend that you pay attention to the Ohara area. Sanzen-in Temple and Ruriko-in Temple are truly hidden treasures of Kyoto travel! We were extremely lucky this year. Not only did we catch the cherry blossom season which was delayed due to the temperature, but we also encountered Rurikoin Temple which opened early. The actual photos taken on April 15th prove that there are few people here and the scenery is beautiful. Although Rurikoin is popular online, you can avoid the crowds if you choose the right time. Sanzen-in Temple is a rare place to visit. As a temple of the Tendai sect, its moss garden is well-known. It takes about 50 minutes to get from the city center to Ohara Terminal, which is a piece of cake for commuters in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The Ohara area is perfect for hiking, slowing down your pace and enjoying the gifts of nature. Find a pavilion to sit down and daydream, absorbing the energy of nature. In short, if you want to experience a different Kyoto, Sanzen-in Temple and Ruriko-in Temple are not to be missed. #Kyoto Sakura
