japan day 8 -- kyoto: tojiin

painting of daruma

we visited tojiin on our hotel's recommendation.  (btw, if you want to visit kyoto, you need to stay at the hotel mume.  it was absolute perfection.)

tojiin was somewhat difficult to find, so we completely surprised the staff when we stumbled in.  i think very few visitors, particularly foreigners make the trek.  the journey was well worth it though.  no visitors when we got there.  we sat and enjoyed the early afternoon sun by the rock garden completely undisturbed.  the main attraction are the 15 statues of the Ashikaga shoguns (no pictures allowed in that section - boo!)
