Message from Chloe Keleny

Giōji Temple in Kyoto's Arashiyama district is a hidden gem with a tragic love story. It's a small but enchanting temple known for its lush moss garden, thatched-roof main hall, and serene atmosphere. The temple's history is intertwined with the tale of Gio, a dancer who became a nun after a love triangle drama. Visitors can explore the temple grounds, admire the wooden statues inside the main hall, and soak in the beauty of the moss garden that changes with the seasons. Don't miss this peaceful sanctuary off the beaten path in Kyoto!
