This temple is rich in art and is a must see. It is quite a large area and take time to look at as much as possible.

What a beautiful temple, so worth the trip off the beaten track to get there. We caught a local bus from Kyoto station, easy and cheap. If you are visiting in April, the blossoms are so stunning, and the temple is well worth a visit.

At first, i was a bit sceptical about going to Ninna-Ji. There are numbers of shrines, temples in Kyoto, so it's hard to choose, really. And each one is unique and different. It's everything else, that counts. Surroundings, stories, other buildings. And this one has it. Founded by fifty-ninth emperor, Uda in 888 AD. It was once the old imperial... More

Ninna-ji is famous of its Omuro cherry blossoms. The temple attracts many visitors when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom. We were lucky to be there at the right time.

This is a wonderfully maintained place. This temples is listed as a World Heritage Sites and is also known as Omuro Imperial Palace. Ninnaji is also famous for a grove of locally cultivated, late blooming cherry trees called Omuro Cherries. We were lucky to see the late blossoming cherry during mid april.

Unfortunately we missed the cherry blossoms, but the grove in the complex would be amazing to see. There was also an area where people were selling... More

It's very crowded during the cherry season, especially in the Omura cherry grove. You'd find it hard to pass the narrow lanes. But the flowers are in full bloom and they look great with the pavilion behind.

The cherry blossoms in bloom made this visit utterly stunning. The temple grounds are beautiful. Be sure and allow at minimum a solid hour to see the entire area. . The museum has very few English explanations but it is well worth the small additional admission price. Have your camera ready for an aptly honored cultural heritage site.

At the end of our walk down from the Golden Pavilion and Ryoanji sits the Ninnaji temple. It is often overlooked and therefore less crowded. Take a stop here to admire the pagoda and other buildings. Then when you enter the main garden, you can see the layers of scenery and take wonderful pictures.
