in the eastern parts of the city, you are never far away from world famous
temples or gardens, and Nanzenji is one of them. Some of the old subtemples
remain and a few of them are open to public, like the Nanzen-in and Tenjuan
gardens. Nanzen-in used to be a part of the emperors palace garden, and
Tenjuan is the first place that was converted into a temple by the emperor.
The birth place of the Nanzenji. Both Nanzen-in and Tenjuan has been destroyed
and rebuilt so many times that it is hard to tell if there is anything
left of the original designs, but they are beautiful places no matter
what, and has been designated as important historical gardens in Kyoto.
