Discover Peace and Quiet in Kyoto With No Crowds (Cultural Heritage at Toji-in and Honpo-ji Temples)

Discover Kyoto with no crowds, finding peace, quiet and tranquility at two beautiful temples of Japanese cultural heritage. I show you the scenic landscape garden of Toji-in, designed by Muso Soseki, at the Zen Buddhist temple originally built as a retreat for the Shogun Ashikaga Takauji in 1341, then I take you to Honpo-ji temple, a Nichiren Buddhist temple founded by Nisshin in 1436. As your cultural guide to the hidden places of Kyoto, I show that while for many people Kyoto is a place of a handful of popular temples, there are actually many secret spots which have no crowds; places where you can find the authentic peace, quiet and tranquility that you are searching for. Discover the scenery and history that inspired the real Zen Buddhism and explore Kyoto in depth like a local.
