These pictures were taken at the Garden of Tenryu-ji. Tenryu-ji is a Zen Buddhism monastery. Like most Kyoto monasteries, it has a beautiful garden inside. With a simplicity design, the Tenryu-ji Garden is an abstract representation of nature from a religious perceptive Human input is intentionally explicit.
I would usually include this Garden in my itinerary should I visit the Saga Arashiyama District. Reason? The photos above speak.
We used to enter the Garden through the North Gate of Tenryu-ji after taking a walk in the Saga Bamboo Groves.
It was a sunny day and the temperature was around 23 degree C. People sitting leisurely on the wooden bench of the Main Hall watching the exquisitely craved / designed garden and listening to the songs of the swallows.
What a wonderful day!
