chrisbg — Shisendō Temple

Tucked away in Kyoto’s Higashiyama hills, Shisendo Temple feels like time paused. 🍁 Once the home of a samurai poet, it’s now one of the most peaceful gardens in the city — a symphony of red maples, moss, and silence. Come in late November when the leaves turn fiery, and you might just have the garden all to yourself. #Shisendo #KyotoAutumn #HiddenKyoto
