Other walks close to Minami.

Sorted by distance from the start of to-ji: the tallest pagoda and the temple market. Good for stitching together a longer day.

A vast steel-and-glass station, two of Japan's largest temple halls, and a borrowed-scenery garden.

A great Zen temple, the bridge over the maple gorge, and a checkerboard of moss and stone.

A thousand vermilion gates up a sacred mountain, the fox messengers, the view at the saddle.

Kyoto's kitchen, the covered market, the Teramachi arcades, and a shrine for scholars.
