Peaceful temple with beautiful view

I have never felt so at peace as I have here. I stumbled across it by accident while following a cute looking path and was very pleasantly surprised.

It costs ¥400 to enter, and another ¥500-600 for the matcha tea (hot or cold) and sweet treat (if it is available). It is absolutely worth the ¥400, even if you decide not to have the tea and treat.

The tea and treat complimented each other perfectly. The tea was refreshing but very bitter, whereas the sweet treat (rice flour ball with red bean paste) was rich and sweet. It was delicately made and served, and the atmosphere that you have it in is unreal.

It is worth coming here even if you don't have the refreshments, just the atmosphere alone is worth it.

Pros: Peaceful, Beautiful view, Perfect tea and treat
