Tenjuan Temple is one of the many sub temples of the Nanzenji precinct and is one of the few that are opened to the public. It's known for its gardens as well as its lotus pond and was dedicated to the Zen master who served Emperor Kameyama. Unfortunately, part of its main hall is under construction so I wasn't able to go inside, but the gardens and ponds outside were well worth the visit.
Reminds me of the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter where an elderly man found a tiny baby inside of a bamboo plant who was actually the princess from the moon :)
Poor fish thought I had food to give him, so I took the opportunity to snap this picture!
Thank you so much for reading and have a wonderful week :) It's rainy season here in Japan so don't forget to bring your umbrellas with you!
