Hōsen-in

A temple of the school of Zen Buddhism, Hosen-in is one of the older temples in the region. Constructed in 1012, it houses an amazing garden, where visitors are invited to sit and contemplate while sipping on green tea provided by the monks.

Shōsei-en

This garden belongs to the Higashi-Hongan-ji temple in Kyoto. The gardens you see in the picture were built in 1641 along with the original pond. The garden houses several Cherry trees that serve as a huge attraction in spring, when they bloom. Amazingly, this garden is located just a few meters away from the busy Kyoto station.

Taizō-in

This is the newer garden of the Taizō-in temple, called yoko-en, built in 1963. The garden has several azaleas, along with a stream that cascades and flows into the pond, creating a spectacular view.

Tōji-in

In 1341, emperor Takauji chose this spot, at the foot of Mount Kinugasa, to erect a temple on. This was the fulfillment of a vow he took while following the Zen teachings of Musō Soseki. Soseki also designed the gardens, pond and the tearoom.

Tonogayato Teien

Built between 1913 and 1915, these are the gardens of the estate of Eguchi Teijo, the Vice-President of the Manchurian Railway. They were later purchased by the director of Mitsubishi, who completed it and added a teahouse. The gardens are built in the traditional Japanese style and have been purchased by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government for preservation and public enjoyment.
