Had about a 1/2 day free before our ride to the
airport so we headed to Gion to find a temple that
was open to share their garden full of Chinese Lizard's Tail
flowers. Got there well before it
opened, but we found two others with open gardens, a
university calligraphy club exhibit,
and more among the many sub-temples and nearby attractions...
