Ryoanji Temple and rock garden

After a lecture in one of our houses on the 19th century author Higuch Ichiyo, we traveled to the Ryoanji temple. The rock garden there is so serene. We had a wonderful Buddhist tofu and vegetarian lunch...






Then on to the Golden Temple...



These temples and shrines are so serene and beautiful. All of the visitors are so respectful.
On our walk home, we passed some families walking around Kyoto for the Gion Mutsuri festival...







Location:Kyoto, Japan
