Seiryō-ji

Seiryo-ji is a quieter Arashiyama temple linked with Minamoto no Toru, the nobleman often named as one of the inspirations for Genji in The Tale of Genji. It makes a good counterpoint to the busier bamboo grove and Tenryu-ji, especially if you want a more literary thread through western Kyoto.
