You'll be overwhelmed by the size of the San-mon Gate as you approach it and you'll also be able to see the magnificence of its pillars and the massive stone lanterns, the largest in the East. Although it is located within Nanzen-ji Temple, which preserves the past in the present, the Suirokaku (a high-rise waterway bridge) has a modern feel. The red brick arch drawn by the beautiful curve matches the Japanese-style architecture of the temple and has a distinctive atmospheric beauty.

This is a place where you can take fantastical photos of the brick building and natural scenery in harmony, so be sure to take your camera.
