Raikyu-ji garden

Sun, June 5, 2016, by Muza-chan

The Raikyu-ji temple garden of Takahashi, Okayama, harmoniously combines stone lanterns and carefully trimmed shrubs with Zen elements such as rocks and sand waves.

Designed over 400 years ago, this jewel was declared a national Place of Scenic Beauty. If you’re on you way to see the Bitchū Matsuyama castle , you should definitely stop by to admire this wonderful landscape…
