Let’s now proceed to Hojo Garden, located behind the main hall.
This garden is laid out around a central pond.
It is said to have been designed in the mid seventeenth century by a Buddhist monk named Gyoku-en, who had a strong connection with renowned landscape architect of the time Kobori Enshu.
The beauty of the garden is set off by the majestic buildings and the landscape of the Higashiyama mountains which surround it, creating scenery with an extraordinary atmosphere.
Take some time to stop and really revel in this wonderful sight.
