KYOTO #4

On the morning of Saturday 30th September I left my hotel and headed eastwards to visit my favourite Kyoto temple, Tofukuji. What makes this place special are not only the impressive large buildings but also the extensive grounds full of maple trees, and no less than two sub temples with raked stone gardens. In addition, it’s somehow off the main tourist itineraries, so you’re sure to get some tranquility and repose as you sit on the veranda contemplating the scene.
