Kodaiji Temple was built in 1606 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi's widow to pray for him. The landscape was designed by Kobori Enshu and features a Zen sand garden, rolling hills, a small pond, and carefully placed rocks. The bridge connecting the main buildings is an iconic feature. There is also a bamboo grove. The temple grounds are fairly large and spacious.
Entrance is 600 yen.

The Kodaiji Temple is yet another temple on the popular 'temple side" of the city. You can walk here down the hill when exiting from the Jishu Shrine and walking through some of the nicest small streets of Kyoto.

Three fantastic tea houses: One at the entry - with a large round window. Perfectly manicured gardens. At the top of the wooded hillside, past the bamboo grove, sits two more tea houses, connected by attractive covered walkways. Unique two-floor tea house design.

Museum and gift stores across the street.

Do not miss the japanese paistry restaurant nearby for one of the best micro-gardens in Kyoto. The rickshaw drivers pull up to a perfect framed window looking into the Kobe fish pond.
