Following the last time,I introduce a hidden masterpiece garden.

This time, Tatchu of Tofukuji Temple, is Ryugin-an.
(Tatchu is sub-temple on the site of the main temple.)

This is a national treasure garden.

This garden was made in about 50 years ago

by Mirei Shigemori who is a genius landscape architect.

He has designed this garden with colorful gravel was not so far.


Can you see a dragon's head?


Lightning is expressed on the bamboo fence.

It is designed to everywhere.


Innovative colors ... great!


Although it was not good enough last year,

the maple in front of the entrance gate is one of the attractions of this temple.

The name recognition of this temple is low,

because the open period is very short.
(3/14〜3/16, 11/1〜12/6)

But, it is a must-see definitely.
