Tōfuku-ji 東福寺
From 14 November the bridge opens at 8:30 and the ticket rises from ¥600 to ¥1,000.
A large Zen complex in south-east Kyoto; Zen is the Buddhist school centred on seated meditation. The Tsūtenkyō is a covered bridge that crosses the gorge of maples inside the grounds. The second garden, the one around the main buildings, dates from the twentieth century and is not an ancient garden: it lays out moss in a chequerboard with stone slabs.
