The Beautiful Temples and Gardens of Kyoto (Updated 2025)

"Established in 1606, Kodai-ji (Jubuzan Kodai-ji) still contains antiques and artwork from that period, and its sand-and-rock gardens are serene and immaculately composed. The gardens are a nationally designated Historic Site and an official Place of Scenic Beauty. Kodai-ji is open daily from 9am–5pm and admission is 600 JPY." - Matthew Kepnes
