智積院の庭園Chishakuin Temple is well-known for both its panel paintings and its gardens.
Not far from the Hyatt hotel and Kyoto National Museum, it is easy to cycle to.
In 1674, the main garden was rebuilt; however, it was later destroyed by fire.
Chishakuin's garden is believed to have been built by tea master Sen no Rikyu (1522-1591).
On June 15, Chishakuin hosts the Green Leaf Festival. This festival celebrates the birth of founder Kukai, (aka, Kobo-Daishi, 744-835).
