Meigetsu-in
This scenic temple is popular for its well-kept gardens, which manage to look beautiful no matter the season or the weather. Be warned, though: when the hydrangeas bloom in summer or the autumn leaves first appear, it gets so crowded that queues often form before opening. To avoid the throngs, try going just before closing time.
