A large Buddhist temple famous for its massive wooden gate and its cameo in Lost in Translation.
Insider Tip
While the grounds are large and there’s a lot to explore, don’t miss the old brick aqueduct!
This is one of the most rewarding temples in Kyoto, with its expansive grounds and numerous subtemples.
