NANZEN-JI
Nanzen-ji, a complex of Zen temples and subtemples tucked against the Higashiyama (Eastern Mountains), is the
Platonic form of Japanese Buddhist temple. It's got it all: a fine little(Zen) garden, soaring main halls, great gar-
dens and an incredibly scenic location. Despite its popularity it doesn't feel crowded, even during the autumn fo-
liage season (November), when the maples turn crimson and stand in beautiful contrast to the moss beneath their
boughs.
