The Poet's Hut Temple, The Hermitage of an ex-Samurai, The Garden of the Ox and The Garden of the Dragon, A Temple of Refined Elegance, and A Secret Mountain Tea House. All in one neighbourhood. We travel to an old, quiet and surprisingly ordinary neighbourhood in the northeastern part of Kyoto, tucked into the Higashiyama mountain range. This is not like the busy tourist areas that are scattered around town. The road we follow winds its way through this residential neighbourhood and we soon encounter traces of the farm life that existed in this area for hundreds of years. As we approach the cedar forest we can feel that this is like nowhere we have seen in Kyoto up until this point. It is in these surroundings you will have one of your most memorable experiences in Japan.
Konpuku-ji: A temple closely connected with two of the most well-known haiku masters. Shisen-do: A hermitage created by an ex-warrior where architecture and nature come together as one. Nobotoke-an: From a hidden complex of tea houses we will enjoy a bowl of matcha overlooking the city. Enko-ji: A Zen temple which contains two gardens that tell the story of the path enlightenment. We take a 15-minute walk through the local neighborhood and finish at. . . Manshu-in: A temple with ties to the emperor that is the epitome of elegance and simplicity. (As there are 5 wonderful sites in this area, but only time for 4 (and 1 is only open three days a week), the itinerary will vary depending on the day of the week: Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri: Konpuku-ji, Shisen-do, Enko-ji, and Manshu-in Wed, Sat, Sun: Konpuku-ji, Nobotoke-an, Enko-ji, and Shinsen-do or Manshu-in)
