Beautiful little gardens and tea house dating back to the 1330's with the current buildings being build circa 1818. The Matcha tea was the nicest I've ever had and the view was absolutely stunning. You can understand whey the shoguns built this garden and tea house. We visited in summer but apparently the gardens are full of seasonal tree and so it is gorgeous all year round.

足利将軍の木像が見どころ! 写真撮影はNGだったので、ぜひその目でお確かめを。 尊氏公は垂れ目でなんか人が良さそう… 最後の将軍・義昭公は口元がニヤリと笑ってるような… 外交を駆使して信長公を苦しめた面影が残ってる! そして尊氏公のお墓が庭でひっそりと佇んでいます。 立命館方面から来ると、南側からしか入れないので遠回りかも。 極力歩きたくない人は嵐電の最寄駅からが良さそうですね。 市バスの1日乗車券あったのでケチりました(笑) -- The wooden statue of the Ashikaga Shogun is a highlight! Unfortunately, photography was not allowed, so please see it with your own eyes. Lord Takauji seems kind-hearted with droopy eyes... The last shogun, Lord Yoshiaki, appears to have a smirk on his face, as if still bearing the remnants of troubling Oda Nobunaga through diplomatic maneuvers! Also, Lord Takauji's tomb quietly stands in the garden. If you're coming from the Ritsumeikan area, you can only enter from the south side, so it might be a bit of a detour. For those who prefer not to walk too much, it seems best to start from the nearest Arashiyama Electric Railway station. I had a one-day pass for the city bus, so I took advantage of it 🤑

Absolutely beautiful quiet temple. It's not well known, so there's few tourists, and you can get stunning views of their traditional garden, as well as their tea house. They also offer tea and sweets to enjoy while viewing their garden. Definitely worth visiting if you're in the area.

XIV century Buddhist temple. It is not as touristy as the Golden Pavilion, for instance, so no many visitors swarming the compound like flies around honey. The gardens are very pretty and you can walk freely in them without haste

御室仁和寺~龍安寺~金閣寺と、所謂『きぬかけの道・世界遺産コース』♥️ 青もみじのこの美しい季節でかつインバウンドの方々もほぼいないというチャンスなので、久しぶりにやって参りました。でも今回はとりあえず龍安寺へ。 龍安寺の前に『旧御室邸』を、そして後ろに『等持院』を持ってくるという設定😊『旧御室邸』は三年振りの公開ということで、その素晴らしさについては後程♥️ 今回はその『旧御室邸』と並ぶ位感動した『等持院』のご報告を致します。 龍安寺から金閣寺へ向かう途中・カフェ『山猫軒』の角を曲がり立命館大学に沿って下り、10分程で『等持院』の山門が出迎えてくれますが、想像以上に立派❗ それもそのはず、足利将軍家菩提所という由緒ある寺院だから🤭 開山が夢窓国師=臨済宗・天龍寺派なんですね~。応仁の乱等の戦乱や火災に見舞われたようですが、豊太閤(秀吉)が息子の秀頼に再建させる程重んじていたそうです。 今までなんで来なかったのかと、激しい後悔に苛まれました😅 とにかくお庭が素晴らしいの一言。 厳かな雰囲気の中、水の音に癒され、やさぐれていた心がすっかり修復されました笑💦もう京都に住んだ方がいいかもと思うくらい笑💦 私は嵐電の1日乗車券を利用して沢山巡るようにしておりますが、各寺院歩ける距離でもありますので、この新緑の時期は散策をオススメ致します😊♥️ 拝観料は500円、御朱印はスタンプで300円。お抹茶を頂けてお菓子付きで500円、冷たい番茶もあって美味しかったです。 京福の等持院駅から歩いて10分弱です。

Hermoso y muy tranquilo lugar para ir. Tiene un jardín zen muy hermoso podés pedir tomar un té y sentarte en el tatami mientras observas el jardín También podés recorrerlo, al igual que las diferentes instalaciones. Lo encontramos de casualidad y nos encantó la paz que uno siente allí. Uno de mis lugares favoritos en la tierra. // Beautiful and very quiet place to go. It has a very beautiful Zen garden. You can ask to have tea and sit on the tatami while you watch the garden. You can also visit it, as well as the different facilities. We found it by chance and we loved the peace that you can feel there. One of my favourites places on earth!
