Kennin-ji: Twin Dragons, Zen Gardens & Kyoto's Best Interior Art
★4.9(6020)
Walk through the oldest Zen temple in Kyoto to find the massive Twin Dragons mural on the ceiling—it’s the main event. Spend an hour sitting on the wooden veranda of the Hojo building overlooking the raked gravel gardens; it’s way less chaotic than Kinkaku-ji. Skip the surrounding crowded Gion streets and pay the entry fee just for the quiet. If you’re doing a private walking tour, make sure this is your primary indoor stop.
