Message from worldpitou

Ryoanji Temple in Kyoto is famous for its enigmatic rock garden, where 15 rocks are strategically placed on a bed of pebbles. The meaning behind the garden remains a mystery, with interpretations ranging from tigers crossing a pond to abstract concepts like infinity. Visitors can ponder the garden's significance while enjoying the serene surroundings of this Zen temple, which also features traditional tatami rooms and a picturesque pond. It's a must-visit spot for those seeking a peaceful escape in the bustling city of Kyoto.
