Moss enthusiasts, this one's for you: JR Tokai Tours is offering its oddly specific Kyoto Moss Tour Passport again this year. The ¥1,500 booklet is available until September 30, granting admission into any four of the six participating Kyoto temples known for their spectacular moss gardens. It's a strangely niche proposition, we know, but we promise they're all quite lovely.
The six temples are: Myoshinji Temple Keishunin, Jikkoin, Tofukuji Temple, Jojakkoji Temple, Gioji Temple, and Sanzenin Temple. Given that buying separate tickets for any four of these temples would add up to more than the cost of the booklet, it's quite the bargain.
To get your hands on the 'passport', you can purchase an e-ticket here, which you must then use to pick up your booklet in person at the Kyoto Tourist Information Center 'Kyo Navi' in Kyoto Station.
