Tenryu-ji

Arashiyama, an idyllic district on the western outskirts of Kyoto has been popular for a long time, with the wooden Togetsu-kyo bridge as famous landmark and the forested Mount Arashiyama as a backdrop.
Before coming to the bridge I stopped at Tenryu-ji, a leading Zen temple which may not be very big in size but shows some pretty sub temples set in beautiful gardens. By the time I reached the main hall it was too late for lunch at the temple's restaurant, so I just carried on.
