Also from this temple you have a nice view over Kyoto, without having to climb too many steps. However, there is always a lot going on here, even in the evening. However, he is really lighted at night and a real eye-catcher.

Steep stairs lead to the temple, and you can pass through the Nio Mon Gate. From up here, you have a magnificent view of the valley. The temple closes at 6:00 PM sharp, as clearly indicated.
