Different from the daytime Shoren-in Temple, its beautiful gardens produce a mysterious atmosphere at night. They have a light-up event in spring and autumn. Big camphor trees, fresh bamboo forest, three types of beautiful gardens, and all the wooden buildings are nicely lit up. Walking down the dark wooden corridors, I sat on the floor and looked over the garden. Spring was in the air. All the surroundings emitted a fresh green energy. Shoren-in Temple is a 5-minute-walk from Higashiyama Station on the Tozai subway Line.
