About five minutes鈥 walk east of Higashi Hongan-ji, this garden is a peaceful green island in a vast expanse of concrete. While it鈥檚 not on par with many other gardens in Kyoto, it鈥檚 worth a visit if you find yourself in need of something to do near Kyoto Station, perhaps paired with a visit to the temple. The lovely grounds, incorporating the Kikoku-tei villa, were completed in 1657.
