A 14th-century UNESCO World Heritage masterpiece designed by Muso Soseki around 1339, preserved in its original form. It famously employs "Borrowed Scenery" (Shakkei), integrating the Arashiyama mountains into its vast design. The heart-shaped pond (心) and symbolic stone waterfalls inspire meditation. Whether framed by cherry blossoms or fiery autumn maples, this garden offers a profound spiritual journey towards enlightenment and reflection.
