Very good monastery, divided into multiple small courtyards, each courtyard is not large, are very beautiful, pleasant scale, dry landscape design is very good, not so boring, but there is a color difference.
The highlight of Dade Temple is that the dry landscape is very beautiful, there are curve designs everywhere, and the maintenance people are very careful. It is divided into several courtyards, each is quite good, each yard is not too big.
Very large temple, the yard is oversized, there are several dry landscapes, there are not many tourists in the evening, basically everyone can have their own small courtyard, the yard is very comfortable to clean.
The scenery is different, the fun is strong, and the price is relatively high.
The Japanese gardens and dry mountains and rivers seen in Dade Temple are indeed eye-catching. Although I had seen the relevant introduction before I came to Japan, I still couldn't help wondering when I came to Japan. The layout of the courtyard, the flow of sand and stone, the placement of marvelous stones, the planting of moss and even pine trees all reveal a strong Zen mood. And there are few visitors to the temple. It's the best place to sit in the corridor and enjoy the passage of time quietly.
Dade Temple and Yixiu, as well as Fukushi Xiuji, can be related to each other. It is said that Feng Chen Xiuji forced his teacher to death. Afterwards, he felt regret in his heart and built this temple to commemorate him. The restaurant outside Dade Temple sells a restaurant related to Dade Temple. Ancient buildings are very well preserved. Think of the streets in the Tang Dynasty as beautiful as this.

The official legal name of "Yixiuge" is "Yixiuzongchun, which was given by Master Dadeng, the founder of Zen Buddhism, when he entered Dade Temple at the age of 24. Dade Temple is also an important place where "Yixiuge" began to practise Zen and succeeded in enlightenment. It is said that he was meditating one day and suddenly enlightened when he heard the crow's call.
