自転車で東福寺へTofukuji Temple is a huge Zen temple in southeastern Kyoto.
It was founded in 1236 and has become one of the principal Zen temples in Kyoto.
It is justly famous for its autumn foliage, but any time of year is good for a visit.
Moreover, much of the temple complex is free.
For those cycling, it is 15 minutes from Kyoto Station or 10 minutes from Sanjusangendo. It is along the narrow road that leads south to Fushimi.
