Neither the inner nor the outer: Daitokuji Temple, Kyoto

This is an entrance of a subtemple, Daitokuji Temple.

When you enter the inside, you can instantly see the outside, the inner court.

In Japanese architecture the boundary between the inner and the outer tends to be unclear, and that means the they can take natural surroundings into the buildings.
