桂春院の庭園と茶室は小さくて簡素だ; 5月上旬の新緑の季節、とても美しい。ただ静かに腰を下ろし、新鮮な空気を胸一杯吸い込むだけで十分だ。
วนและโรงน้ำชาของวัดเคชุน-อิน เป็นสวนขนาดเล็กและเรียบง่าย แต่ก็ดูสวยงามในช่วงต้นพฤษภาคม ที่นี่ไม่มีการเสริฟน้ำชา แต่ก็ไม่เป็นไร เพียงแค่นั่งเงียบๆ ดื่มด่ำชมสวนและอากาศบริสุทธิ์ ก็เพียงพอแล้ว
In Japan's ancient capital of Kyoto, Keishun-in is a very peaceful Zen Buddhist temple, with tranquil gardens unchanged in centuries.
Trong kinh đô cổ xưa Kyoto của Nhật Bản, Keishun-in là một ngôi chùa Thiền phái Phật giáo rất yên bình, với những khu vườn yên ắng trường tồn qua hàng thế kỉ.
Khu vườn trong đền Keishun-in nhỏ và đơn giản; khá đáng yêu vào đầu tháng năm. Thật là tuyệt khi ngồi xuống và hít thở không khí trong lành.
케이슌인 사찰 정원은 작고 단순했다. 5월 초에 꽤 상쾌하고 예뻤다. 단지 조용히 앉아서 푸른 정원의 신선한 공기를 숨쉬는 것 자체만으로도 좋았다.

Ninna-ji Temple was founded in 888 and is a Buddhist temple in northeast Kyoto that is closely associated with the imperial family of Japan. It is the main temple of the Omuro school of the Shingon sect of Japanese Buddhism. There are many Omuro School temples throughout Japan and many priests from these temples come to Ninna-ji to attend Buddhist services and to study and train in the main temple of their sect. Ninna-ji Temple is known not only for the building itself, but also for its prime location as a viewpoint for the late cherry blossom. He also has a beautiful Japanese garden from which you can see the famous five-story pagoda. Behind Ninna-ji Temple is the Omuro Pilgrimage, a shorter version of the Shikoku pilgrimage. This route can be covered in about two hours on foot, but is believed to have the same meaning as the Shikoku pilgrimage.
