In the early Heian period, Empress Tachibana no Kachiko, wife of Emperor Saga, founded a temple called Danrin-ji on the site of present-day Tenryū-ji. The temple fell into disrepair over the next four hundred years. (from Wiki)
One of my fave temples in Kyoto. I visited here before 4 years ago-ish on May. I wanna go to Kyoto again for meditation. 京都にたくさんあるお寺で好きなお寺の一つ。4年前くらいの秋に行って以来、再訪。今度は座禅しに京都に行きたい。
