Chion-in 知恩院

The grounds open at 6:00 and are free: at that hour there is nobody in Higashiyama.

It is the head temple of the Pure Land school, one of the main branches of Japanese Buddhism. The grounds climb the side of Higashiyama and you can walk through them without paying; you pay only for the two gardens. The Sanmon, the entrance gate, is the largest wooden gate in Japan.
