Kyoto is abundant in micro-temples which atmospherically melt into forests and hills. 

Naturally, they’re a perfect antidote to the more popular and all too often overcrowded temples and shrines in the city.

Two such temples in Kyoto city lie hidden in Higashiyama’s forested foothills, behind the scenic Maruyama Park.
