4. Tenryu-ji is the most important Zen temple in Arashiyama and one of Kyoto's most celebrated cultural treasures. Founded in 1339 by shogun Ashikaga Takauji to honor Emperor Go-Daigo, it is the head temple of the Tenryu branch of the Rinzai Zen school and part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto. Its highlight is the garden designed by Musō Soseki nearly 700 years ago. Centered on a large pond and framed by rocks, pines, and seasonal plants, it uses the technique of shakkei (borrowed scenery) to incorporate the surrounding Arashiyama mountains. The garden beautifully reflects Zen ideals of harmony, simplicity, and contemplation.

About 京都

千年以上にわたり日本の都だった京都は、寺院、庭園、木造の町家、洗練された伝統が息づく街です。

この街には日本で最も大切にされている名所の多くがあります。伏見稲荷大社の数千基の朱色の鳥居は森の山を登り、金閣寺は池の上で輝き、清水寺の木造の舞台は街を見下ろす山腹に突き出しています。龍安寺の石庭と苔むした銀閣寺の庭は、静かな思索を誘います。
