In reply to jan.

Hi Jan, despite the long history of the temple with the tea ceremony I'm not aware of any that take place within the grounds that are open to the public. I do know Gen-an is very close by, I'll find their link and attach it here so you can take a look and see if that is what you are after. https://www.gen-an-kyoto.com/english/

In reply to budget jan. I don't remember there being that many people at Ginkaku-ji when we went, it was early in the day though or perhaps because it was cherry blossom season and it's not a sakura garden they went elsewhere instead. The Philosophers path and the little cafes and things along it were really busy though.

We loved the silver pagoda. I was horified when I saw the line of people waiting to enter, but the line moved fast and the crowds seemed to dissipate inside. Great views and gardens. We started here and walked back along the path as well. We will go back in Spring one day. 🙂

Another one to add to my notes!

I look forward to your post about the other gems on the Philosopher's trail.
