Ninna-ji: Old Imperial Palace
Ninna-ji temple is one of my favorite temples in Kyoto; very
peaceful and not crowded at all as compared to other well-known temples.There were only a couple of visitors when we went here so we took our time wandering around, staring at stunningly painted walls and appreciating the beautiful gardens.

The moment we got down from the bus we were wondering if we were in the right place because there weren't a lot of people and some of them just passed by and did not enter the temple. Good thing there was google and when we saw Nio-mon gate we know we were in the right path.
