Daitoku-ji

Daitoku-ji

大徳寺

Daitoku-ji is a sprawling Rinzai Zen complex in northern Kyoto where quiet moss gardens, intimate tea houses and over 20 sub-temples offer a concentrated taste of Japanese culture. Explore serene courtyards and historic screen paintings and tea utensils, but note that the main hall is closed to the public and many sub-temples only open at limited times — check schedules before you go.
