Kyoto’s Ryoanji’s Kyoyochi (鏡容池) obscured by Japanese Maples
Ryoanji is best known for having perhaps the world’s most famous Zen rock garden, but Ryoanji’s pond, if you can see it through all the maples, can be quite lovely as well.

I’m on my way to Hawaii today. Pics from the Big Island coming soon.
Stairs at Ryoanji (龍安寺)
Ryoanji is best know for its zen rock garden–perhaps the most famous karesansui (枯山水) in the world. However, there is much more to see at Ryoanji, including a lake, these stairs, and other objects and paths.

Ryōan-ji (龍安寺) – Kyoto, Japan
There is something unzenlike in a place like this when it is crowded with tourists, especially talking tourists. That said, I had always been underwhelmed by photos of Ryoanji, but I found actually being there to be quite amazing. Maybe it was just because it was humid, a million degrees, and one can view the rock garden from the shade. In any event, photos don’t do it justice, but try to get there when you can be alone (like I was able to at Ninnaji) if you can for best results.
