| There are rock gardens all over Japan and they
seem to be an important part of any temple or monastary. Here
is one we saw in Koya-san. It was very large, extremely well
kept (of course) and was overlooked by railed pathways leading
around the temple. |

In this close-up picture you can see how finely
the gravel is raked; across and then around the rocks. Talk
about a garden that needs tending! Every time it rains you'd
need to replant!
|
| Koya-san looks great in autumn when the leaves
change color, but if you have the opportunity to go any time
during the year, TAKE IT! It's one of the most rewarding sights
in Japan. |
