Visiting Kyoto and the Bamboo Forest? Don’t miss this small, hidden magical “moss temple” a short walk away


Our family likes to explore when traveling, and when going to the bamboo forest (liked, didn’t love personally), we found Gioji Temple nearby (walking distance). It’s an intimate, quiet “moss garden” that became one of my favorite places in Japan – which, as you may guess, there is stiff competition. Just wanted to share bc it doesn’t seem to come up as a Kyoto destination. https://maps.app.goo.gl/9Tg1vySE6H6j3V6J6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
