  • The whole garden is covered in lush green moss, which really lifts your spirits and makes you feel refreshed.

  • The most eye-catching thing inside the memorial is the three-story bookshelf. It's so relaxing to sit there, sip coffee, and quietly enjoy the 'golden house' within the books.

  • The various ancient time-measuring instruments are really interesting.

  • Even though I didn't catch the tides at the right time, looking down from above was already super impressive.

  • Along with Matsuo Taisha and Fushimi Inari Shrine, this is one of Kyoto's three oldest shrines, with over 2,000 years of history. There are more than thirty ancient buildings, creating a simple and elegant atmosphere.

  • Be extra careful when walking down—the rocks are really slippery and there are lots of little puddles everywhere.

  • It doesn't feel like a temple at all. Honestly, it feels more like a museum.
