Sanmon(三門), Chion-in(知恩院)


This sanmon means "three gate", so it different from Sanmon of Nanzen-ji that means mountain gate. Anyway it has a presence like Sanmon of Nanzen-ji, eh? I don't know so much about Chion-in, but it is easy to access from downtown Kyoto. It takes just 10 minutes from Gion(祇園). I think Chion is good for night view of autumn leaves. It is kind of amazing scenery. BUT, you must be so difficult to get there during the season. It is one of crazy season in Kyoto.
