Beautiful scenery on autumn. Tenryuji was built in 1339 by the ruling shogun Ashikaga Takauji. Takauji dedicated the temple to Emperor Go-Daigo, who had just passed away. The two important historic figures used to be allies until Takauji turned against the emperor in a struggle for supremacy over Japan. By building the temple, Takauji intended to appease the former emperor's spirits.
Remember 2019.11 Kansai Late Autumn Festival~ Tianlong Temple must be a must-see attraction in Lushan, and the entrance to Tianlong Temple is located on the most lively commercial street. It can be imagined how many tourists are. There are many large Bassra team guests coming in. However, Tianlong Temple is very large. After entering, the crowd will not be too gathered, which will not affect the tour and enjoy the scenery. All the way from the door is a piece of red maple. I took a long time at the door. When I bought a ticket, I found that the whole garden was super big and a large mountain. Along the stone steps, you can visit for a long time, the colorful maple leaves are really dazzling and very beautiful. Unfortunately, there are several attractions to go, and there is no time to go to the whole mountain.
This temple has been mentioned repeatedly in Jinyong's novels. It is said that all kinds of martial arts masters gathered here. I don't know what it has to do with the actual temple. The natural scenery opposite the main building in the temple is like a painting, which is directly painted on the ticket. Service attitude is very good, overall satisfaction!
Beautiful temple! it’s amazing to walk around the garden. but you’ll need purchase two separate tickets for the temple hall and garden..
Came on June 8, 2013. Tianlong Temple is in Kanye, and it is not easy to come from Kyoto City, but it is worth taking half a day. Not only because this ancient temple has a history of more than 700 years, but also the temple's scenery is very particular, it is a classic representative of ancient Japanese aesthetics and Zen culture; moreover, some scenery in the temple borrowed Lushan as the background, becoming a more grand landscape painting. Plus, it’s far from the city, and the whole atmosphere is very quiet and suitable for Zen.
