A little time. A closer look.

Tenryu-ji's Sogenchi garden combines pond, rocks, trees and the surrounding hillside into a composed landscape. Garden admission is distinct from the temple buildings and the Dharma Hall, so plan around the spaces you want to see.

Something to notice

Find a viewpoint that holds the pond and hillside together; confirm current building closures before visiting.

A little consideration

Respect worship and posted photography restrictions; keep to the paths.
