— What You Can Expect —

• Tenryu-ji Temple
  
  The Tenryu-ji Temple, a Rinzai sect temple designated as a World Heritage
  site, stands in Arashiyama and boasts a history spanning 680 years. Originally
  dedicated to Ashikaga Takauji, it was established by Emperor Daigo, with
  Mengko Kokushi as the founder, transforming the young emperor's study,
  Kameyama-den, into a Zen temple. The Tenryu-ji Garden, featuring the Sogen
  Pond Garden within the original Rikyu Palace Pond, radiates from the pond's
  center. Renowned as a pond-circulation and appreciation-style garden, it
  preserves the local style, offering views of Arashiyama, Kameyama, and the
  Ohari River. Notably, it was the first location in Japan to be designated as a
  historical site, making it a unique and special attraction.
  
  ＊Please note that when visiting Tenryu-ji Temple, you can only worship in the
  garden.

  beautiful.
