Koudaiji Temple 高台寺

Review: This temple of the Rinzai Buddhist Sect temple would be a small garden with two ponds, and a couple of tea ceremony houses that are National Important Cultural Properties. A great place to visit during Spring, Summer and Autumn Season. They ususally have events going on during these seasons.

Some History: This Temple was constructed 1605 in the memory of Toyotomi Hideyoshi(1537-1598) by the great political leader’s wife(Nene).

Location: Kodai-ji temple is located in Higashiyama, Kyoto City.

Access: Keihan Shichijo Station is the nearest train station to the museum and about a 5-10 minute walk. Taking a Kyoto city bus (No, 207 and 100) from Kyoto Station to Higashiyama Yasui is the easiest way to get there by road.
