The goshuin has a large ink writing of “Ishiwa” [Ryoanji Temple]

This old temple is famous for its karesansui (dry landscape) garden called Hojo Garden, which expresses the beauty of Zen. The Wabisuke camellia (camellia japonica), which is said to have been praised by Hideyoshi, is at its best from mid-March to early April.
