A Peaceful Day Exploring Oku-Saga, Kyoto 🌿

#cityplaybook Oku-Saga, tucked away in the northwest corner of Arashiyama, offers a serene escape from the tourist crowds. This quiet area of Kyoto is known for its timeless atmosphere, mossy temples, and a sense of deep spiritual calm. If you’re looking to slow down and enjoy the quieter side of the city, this is the perfect destination. 🪷 Otagi Nenbutsu-ji Temple Famous for its 1,200 whimsical stone statues, each with a unique expression. A hidden gem that delights with its personality and peaceful setting. 🪦 Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple A hauntingly beautiful temple known for its thousands of stone memorials.
