Ohara Sanzen-in Temple and Satoyama Village Walk

About one hour north of central Kyoto lies Ohara, where satoyama countryside scenery unfolds. At Sanzen-in Temple's Ojogokuraku-in Hall, your heart will be soothed by the expansive moss garden and the charming figures of the Warabe Jizo statues. In June, hydrangeas color the garden, while autumn brings vibrant maple leaves, allowing you to savor nature and history in tranquil silence. Along the approach path, pickle shops and souvenir stores line the way, and Ohara's famous shiba-zuke pickles are a must-try. By also visiting Jakko-in Temple and Hosen-in Temple, you can experience a day filled with Kyoto's profound and deeper charms.
