"Tickets to enter is 600 yen, which includes walking around the grounds and a small gallery/museum.
If you'd like to enter INTO the main building of the temple (Phoenix Hall), it costs extra per person and has a limit of 20 people per time slot. Once the slots for each time is sold out, then you're out of luck. It really isn't necessary to enter, but if you're religious and/or enjoy architecture, it may be interesting for you!"

When I visited in February it was very calm, but it can get crowded during cherry blossom season and autumn."
