Chion-in is an amazing temple located in Higashiyama district of Kyoto. I haven`t been there before. In this area of Kyoto there are many interesting places to visit, including Yasaka Jinja, Maruyama Park and Gion district. However, I finally had time to visit also Chion-in. I didn`t hear a lot about it, so I was very surprised how beautiful this place was.

Its breathtaking main gate - Sanmon, was built in 1619.

Inside I admired beautiful garden with charming pond.
