Daitoku-ji Temple

You can experience Zazen (literally means seated meditation) here! Zazen would make you ponder about your daily life.
Daitoku temple (大徳寺) is a large walled temple complex in north of Kyoto. In the precinct, this complex consists of around 25 sub-​temples. Here is absolutely one of the great places in Japan where you can see a large variety of Zen gardens and to experience Japanese Zen culture and architecture.
We walked passed through Imamiya Shrine and had Aburimochi (a kind of snack), we walked down to Daitoku temple. Bamboo grove in here was awesome! Not the same as one in Arashiyama.
Daitokuji has existed since 1319 but during the Onin War these construction received damage so much. After the reconstruction, the temple became a center of the tea ceremony. Do you know Sen-​no Rikyu? He was a master of the Japanese tea ceremony and here is associated with him.
Here is good place to experience Zen!
