Today, I’m going to show you a hidden shrine in Kyoto;
Shinsen-en Garden (神泉苑) .
Shinsen-en Garden
Shinsen-en is a small Buddhist temple which built in 862 with a quiet garden and a pond.
Shinsen-en is right in front of Nijo Castle and when you enter inside, there’s a large pond and bridge which I felt mesmerizing.
I found a dragon-shaped houseboat (Yakatabune) in the pond when I was crossing the bridge!
Visit here if you have a chance!
