- The Ritz-CarltonJanuary 11, 2016Tofukuji is a large Zen temple in southeastern Kyoto that is particularly famous for its spectacular autumn colors, founded in 1236. Especially, Hojo Garden is worth a visit early in the morning!
- M. R.January 16, 2012Tofukuji Temple is a bit of a walk from the JR Tokufuji station. A slightly uphill walk, but well worth it as this temple has some of the best views. Come during Autumn for the changing leaves.
- Tom Van GoylenMarch 18, 2015We came here in early March before the flowers and trees started blooming. The garden isn't that impressive at this time so I'd recommend visiting here in spring or autumn.
- etta yOctober 6, 2014Gorgeous underrated Zen monastery in an amazing setting. Fantastic example of a Japanese garden done right.
- Jeff ForbesOctober 11, 2015Really beautiful temple with a couple shrines and gardens. Each one has a separate entry fee.
- Ashleigh AxiosNovember 13, 2014The Fall views are great. Bring cash since there are 3 garden areas you need to pay separately to get into.
- Thailan PhamMay 4, 2016“spectacular garden, one of finest temples” “easily paired with Fushimi Inari - the two are linked by the Keihan train line
- Vincent TanDecember 7, 2019Simply magnificent autumn colours if you are lucky enough to time your visit correctly
- The BaladonsOctober 6, 2016Cut through nearby woods to find a secret Shrine then head up the back way to Fushimi Inari
- David B.October 15, 2014Wonderful temple. The garden is simply stunning in the fall, with all its momiji.
- Richard HylerstedtDecember 2, 2018Wear nice socks because you have to take your shoes off when visiting the zen gardens.
- Richard HylerstedtDecember 2, 2018Unless you're really into fall foliage, the zen gardens are better value for your 400 yen than the valley.
- 龍December 2, 2014臨済宗東福寺派の大本山で山号は慧日山。開創は嘉禎2年 (1236年) 開山は円爾、開基は九条道家。九条家の氏寺で、東大寺と興福寺から1字ずつとって寺名とした。創建当初は、真言・天台・禅の三宗兼学で京都五山の第4位。国宝の三門は禅宗様としては日本最古とされる。その他にも歴代多くの名僧を輩出しており、「元亨釈書」の著者である虎関師錬、室町時代に仏画や水墨画に多大な影響を及ぼした吉山明兆等が著名。
- 龍December 2, 2014東福寺は主要伽藍を中心に25の塔頭寺院があり、その中でも通天橋は本堂から通じる廊下がそのまま屋根付きの橋となったもので、この付近は特に紅葉の名所として有名。橋を渡ると開山円爾を祀る常楽庵開山堂 (重文) がある。寺宝に無準師範像、宋版太平御覧等は国宝、重要文化財に禅堂、偃月橋、浴室、東司、客殿、塔司寮、庫裏、木造釈迦如来及び迦葉阿難立像 (仏殿本尊) 等多数で、本坊庭園は国の名勝に指定。
- Clastiche CrnApril 10, 2017Jardins superbes. Attention, il y a deux jardins et il faut payer deux fois !
- Jenson LeeJanuary 28, 2014「東福寺則不同,不但寺內好看,寺外的牆亦是最絕。臥雲橋北面走到南面,由同聚院走到芬陀院,再走到光明院,無盡的牆,無盡的年代。紅葉的季節,人人湧進寺內,在通天橋附近嘆賞楓紅,而我竟沿著這些沒來由的牆像迷了路般的走著,待想起還有紅葉要看,竟然天色已暗了。」- 舒國治《門外漢的京都》頁七五
- OlgaMay 13, 2017По территории храмового комплекса можно гулять бесплатно, в одну зону с садом камней платный вход, внутри очень красиво
- 閉門間際だと、30分前から、警備の人が「16時半で閉門ですー」と声を張り上げるので、ちょっと無粋ですね…(--;)
