Koushouji Temple.

Randomly stumbled into the beautiful little village of Uji this morning, and then even more randomly walked up a path that led to Koshouji temple.

It turns out that this is a pretty significant Zen temple, being the first Soto Zen monastery founded by Dogen Zenji in 1233.

Not too touristy. A working temple. My new favourite.
