Many attractive gardens, moss can be seen in Kyoto - the ancient capital of Japan, where the mountains surrounding the city provide a constant moisture content, and length of the summer rainy season create favorable conditions for growth and survival of mosses. Perhaps the most famous of all "kokedera" or moss temple - the temple Koinzan Sayhodzhi (Koinzan Saihoji), located at the foot of the mountains in the west Koinzan Kyoto.
