Myoshin-ji Temple complex is one of my favorite places to visit in Kyoto, simply because I don't know what delights I am going to find each time I go there. The Keishun-in Temple garden and teahouse is small and simple, and quite lovely in early May. No tea was served, but that was alright - it was nice to just sit quietly and soak up the fresh air in the green garden.
