We started the day by catching a bus to the northern part of the Higashiyama district. Here we visited the Ginkakuji Temple (Silver Pavillion), which is surrounded by a beautiful garden.
We then began a delightful 2.3 kilometre walk along the "Philosopher's Path", which has several temples near to it.
We visited the Honen-in Temple.
After completing the "Philosopher's Path", we visited the nearby Nanzenji Temple, which has the massive Sanmon entrance gate.
After having a lunch at a local restaurant, we walked to the Heian-jingu Shrine, which also has a beautiful garden.
As the the rain became heavier, and no respite forecast, we decided on an early return to our hotel.
