Ryujouin: Stilt Artistry and Unique Garden Scenery, A Great Spring Destination

Admiring the stilt artistry and unique garden scenery of Ryujouin, one can't help but appreciate the beauty of the garden multiple times. It's no wonder that this temple attracts countless visitors. The most captivating aspect is the large-scale, ingeniously designed Japanese Zen garden. Covering over 20,000 square meters, the garden is divided into several themed areas, such as the dry landscape area, bamboo grove area, and pond area. The use of multi-layered and staggered elevations creates a spectacular garden ambiance. The garden landscape here uniquely combines the beauty of motion and stillness. There is a winding stream path within the garden, with pools and lakes that add a dynamic vitality to the overall garden scene. On the other hand, the garden also maintains a vast area of layered and sparse dry landscape, presenting a serene and spiritual atmosphere. The interplay of movement and stillness creates a harmonious and interesting contrast, offering a unique charm.
