Cycling Kinkakuji Ryoanji Ninnaji

自転車で金閣寺へ

This week's cycling route takes you to some of the best know temple in Kyoto.

Kinkakuji, the Golden Pavilion, is perhaps the best known temple in Kyoto, if not Japan.

From there, it is a 10-minute ride to Ryoanji Temple, the most well-known garden in Japan.

The next-to-last stop is Ninnaji Temple, also a short ride along the same winding road.

Ride, Kinkakuji, ride.
