Jikko-in
- Address: Sakyo-ku, Kyoto
- Category: Religious Sites
- Location: Sakyo-ku
Fodor's Review:
At this small, little-frequented temple you can sit, relax, and have a taste of the powdered matcha of the tea ceremony. To enter, ring the gong on the outside of the gate and then wander through the carefully cultivated garden, with its natural waterfall, central pond, and tiny teahouse framed against the hills. In November the fudan zakura are in bloom, which means you can enjoy the novelty of cherry blossoms at the same time as the changing maple leaves. Inside the temple, the lintel holds 36 portraits of Chinese poets by the Kano school. Take Kyoto Line Bus 17 or 18 for 90 minutes from Kyoto Station; the fare is ¥580. From the Ohara bus stop, walk northeast for about seven minutes along the signposted road. Jikko-in is 200 yards from Sanzen-in.
- Cost: ¥500
- Open: Daily 9–5
