Kenninji Temple is a 5-minute walk from Gion.
Located in the middle of Gion, which is full of Kyoto atmosphere, it is a Zen temple that is said to be the oldest in Kyoto.
Maple trees are planted all over the precincts, but the most highlight is the courtyard called Shioon-eda.
When I took a picture, it rained. I met a pair of parents and children looking at the quietly raining courtyard.
