Ryoan-ji's karesansui (dry landscape) garden is the most famous Zen rock garden in the world - 15 stones arranged in five groups across a 248 sq m rectangle of raked white gravel, surrounded by a low clay wall. From any viewing position on the wooden veranda, only 14 of the 15 stones are visible at once. The author and date of the design (15th-16th century) are unknown.

Entry is JPY 600. The temple complex includes the Kyoyochi pond garden (12th century, predating the rock garden) and a tea house. The viewing platform is small and crowded; allow 15-20 minutes for the rock garden plus another 30 for the surrounding temple grounds. UNESCO-listed since 1994.

Pro Tip: Sit in silence on the veranda for at least 10 minutes - the meditation only works once your eyes adjust. Visit at 8am opening before tour buses arrive. Combine with Kinkaku-ji (15-min walk south) for one efficient northwest morning.
