D13 part 1 Tofukuji

It was a rainy day. We planned to cycle in Arashiyama, but decided to head to Nara instead.
So our first stop is Tofukuji, on the Nara line, 1 stop from Kyoto.
The walk from the station to the temple took a long time due to the crowd. It was only 9 am.

The temple ground had gardens surrounding the main hall. The gardens were quite unique comparing to other temples.
It also had a bridge running along the main hall. There was a long line to buy the tickets and to get on the bridge. We went into the temple ground instead and enjoyed viewing the crowd on the bridge.
