The area
Address
Neighbourhood: City Center
No district of Kyoto is quite as representative of its blended nature as the City Center. By day, the covered shopping arcades along Kawaramachi and Shijo Street bring deal hunters and fashionistas out in droves to peruse the clothing, accessories, gifts, and home goods offerings. When it grows dark, the City Center is a hip spot for nightlife, alive with bars and clubs. A trendy culinary scene and an abundance of local watering holes give the Center its youthful vibrancy. In contrast, the quieter areas of the City Center seem a world away, shielded from noise by the foliage of the public gardens and zen spaces surrounding the area's shrines, castles, and the Imperial Palace. These ancient and sacred spots are seamlessly folded into the scenery, providing a respite from the energy of the city, but close enough to put you directly back onto the pulse of the city when you're ready.

Nice temple located very near to the Kyoto royal spa hotel. Well maintained and nice place to visit we found when walking to the main shopping area I wouldn't make a special trip though

A great event is held irregularly at this temple. Although it is a small local temple, we learned about Japanese customs related to Zen in the small tour with the chief priest and
English guide(I hit the bell), and then enjoyed a shamisen & guitar concert in the private hall. It was a wonderful atmosphere, and reasonable in about two hours.
This temple located in a shopping arcade in downtown area.
So you're lucky if your stay in Kyoto meet with the event.
