Ryoan-ji (Temple of the Peaceful Dragon) is a World Heritage Site and one of Japans most picturesque Zen temples. The 15 large stones of the garden are carefully arranged so that only 14 of them can be fully viewed at any one time, the final stone being only visible to those that have achieved enlightenment. Ryoan-ji and its surrounding gardens are beautiful year round.

Miyajima is universally recognized as being among the top three scenic places in Japan. A short ferry ride from Hiroshima, Myajima island is home to the beautiful Itskushima Shrine, a World Heritage Site, and home to the famous "floating" Torii gate. With so many scenic views and buildings listed as National Treasures, Miyajima is a must-see location for anyone exploring Western Japan.
