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.
