Ryoanji
Imagine a garden without plants and flowers, imagine a garden with just white, black, grey and may be just a little unintended green due to the moss? That is the famous Rock Garden of Ryoanji – very plain but yet contemplation. The entire garden is decorated with just 15 rocks and white gravel. Although I am not into Japanese garden but the garden gives an appeal of serenity, it is surreal especially it was very quiet when we were there. One could feel the awesomeness of the nature and the harmonious atmosphere is rather dominant.
Ryoanji located just about 20 minutes walk from the Golden Pavilion - Kinkakuji. It makes a perfect walk along the two sights.
