526 Kodaiji Shimo Kawaramachi, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto

Kodaiji Temple, famous for Hanatoro (lit. “flower lantern alley”), is lit up during the fall season.  The mysterious world that the temple’s garden creates is worth visiting.  The mirror effects of Garyuchi Pond create a spiritual up-side-down image that many visitors find difficult to take their eyes off.
