Ryōan-ji. Cosa vedere e come visitare

Looking for a peaceful escape in Kyoto? Look no further than Ryōan-ji, a Buddhist temple known for its serene 'dry garden' made of stones, pebbles, and moss. This UNESCO World Heritage site offers a breathtaking experience, especially during the autumn season when the vibrant colors of the maple trees reflect on the tranquil lake. Take a moment to immerse yourself in the Zen garden, allowing your mind to find calmness and tranquility.

Don't miss the iconic 15 stones in the garden, each with its own unique arrangement. As you explore the temple, remember to take off your shoes and embrace the traditional Japanese customs. Admission is only 500¥, and the temple is easily accessible by public transportation.

Experience the hidden gem of Kyoto at Ryōan-ji, where nature, art, and architecture come together to create a truly unforgettable experience.
