What travelers say:

This temple is known as the "moss temple" for a good portion of the grounds is covered in moss (protected from being trampled by short fencing). This is a small temple, and you must reserve your visit in advance as they limit how many people can come per day and which times. As a tourist, this is good as it ensures that there are not too many people about -- so you can enjoy this Zen temple as you should, taking in the peace and tranquility.
