妙心寺Myoshinji Temple is one of Kyoto's lesser known gems.
It is a city within walls, a zen temple in which it is possible to spend the night and practice zazen.
Open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it is not nearly as popular as nearby Ryoanji Temple or the Golden Pavilion.
There are more than 40 sub-temples, each of which serves as a residence for the monks and their families.
You can cycle through on the uneven stone paths.
