This is a very famous representative of the dry landscape of Japan, and it is also a world cultural heritage. You can see the layout of the landscape inside. It is really very beautiful. If you like the Japanese courtyard, this place must come.
As a representative of the Japanese courtyard, this place is really recommended to you, his courtyard is very traditional, very beautiful, and it feels like the whole year will be a very beautiful place.
Excellent landscape garden, its landscape design and dry landscape as a classic case is often in many design books, its wall height and width proportion is very harmonious, building interior is also interesting.
The temples, which are the favorite of all Japanese, are square and square, super quaint and very quiet and peaceful. The house is also very pleasant and pleasant. The stones of the dead mountains and rivers are famous and the shape is well chosen.
Long'an Temple is basically my favorite temple in Kyoto, the Japanese courtyard is famous for dry landscape, the dry landscape of Long'an Temple can best reflect the "dry" this realm, the stone selection is excellent, the temple itself is also very simple.
something to be experienced. Amazing calmness and energy at this place. Take your time..
This rock/zen garden is one of the oldest and most famous in Japan and is well worth a visit. The stones are placed so that not all can be seen at once, but It's said that only through enlightenment can all 14 rocks be viewed.
The most famous example of a zen rock garden. A must-see in Kyoto. At first glance, the garden may seem simple or even boring to some but well worth taking the time to sit and appreciate the details.
Ryoanji, for me, is the most mind-blowing amongst all Kyoto temples. Understated, pure but intelligent and timeless. The 15-rock garden created in 14th century revealing the upmost buddhist thought is still inspirational to many today. Doesn't take golds and silvers to show glory.
You've had the mini-version on your desk at work for years, now see the original rock garden temple. Although I was initially blown away by the thousands of people milling around (not quite as peaceful as I'd hoped), I did love being here and experiencing the beauty. If you can, come very early in the morning or off-season.
