    One of the few temples where you can climb inside... for a fee of 600 yen. In return, you get a good view from the top.

      Even the massive main portal impresses and testifies to the importance of the temple complex. The Nanzen-ji Temple is one of Kyoto's most important temples. It was originally built in 1264 as an imperial villa and is famous for its gardens.
