Ohara: Senin-in Temple and the Flavors of the Countryside

A three-generation course for leisurely walking through the mountain villages of Ohara in Kyoto. Starting from Senin-in Temple with its beautiful moss gardens, you'll enjoy matcha tea at Hosen-in Temple with its picture-frame garden. After tasting the famous shibazuke pickles at Shibahisa near the temple gate, head to Jakkoji Temple with its ties to the Tale of the Heike. The day concludes at Satono Eki Ohara searching for fresh morning-picked vegetables and local specialties to take home. The stone steps and slopes are manageable at a leisurely pace—even grandparents can enjoy this countryside flavor tour together with peace of mind.
