Hi all, I'm new here and come with an offering of many pictures from my visit to Daitoku-ji Temple's bonsai garden in Kyoto. Daitoku-ji is a large temple complex, even by Kyoto's standards, with many different gardens, but I only had time to spend time in this one. My visit was on March 30th, 2023.
I'm not a great photographer and the sun was high overhead, so lighting was not at its best, but I hope you enjoy them nonetheless.
Before even entering the proper garden, they had quite a few lovely trees. I especially like the rock planted forests. These were not included in the program, but had small tags that I believe indicated age and species.

my favorite of the trees on the walk into the garden
that completes the trees outside of the garden. I'll add the main garden trees in a follow-up in this thread
