Walked up expecting a grand experience but honestly felt underwhelmed. Like, the gate is old and worn, and the carvings weren’t as detailed as I thought. Too much hype for such a small spot too crowde

wonderful buddhism temple with great details and immensive worship tower. the goshuin is free and situated on the left building

An exquisitely built and decorated gate in the Nijo Castle complex, it is sheer eye candy. Great spot for views, clicks and selfies.
