Next stop is the world's most renowned Zen garden at Ryoan-Ji. This Zen garden consists of rocks, moss and neatly raked gravel. Enjoy an authentic Kyoto tempura lunch at a local restaurant.

It comes in courses of small portions, decorated and presented in such a gracious manner that it's hard to believe everything there is edible!
Afternoon: The tour continues to Yasaka Shrine --- Nene's path (Tycoon Hideyoshi's wife) --- Ninen-zaka and Sannen-Zaka where many of the traditional houses & artistic shops still exist. |
