i was sitting beside the river in kyoto relaxing after wandering around the city for a few hours. as i sat, a man came up and asked me what i was doing in the city. we got to chatting and he insisted on taking me for a three hour tour of some of his favorite spots. we walked through the flower districts that house some of the most famous gesha houses and then went to the above zen temple which is the oldest of its kind. he gave me the history and tons of neat facts!
the temple was such a place that i did not even feel as if i was still in the city. i was fully transported away to a land of tranquility and peace. i could just imagine the space brimming with monks walking slowly and contemplating each event as it traspired.
