Located in the historic old town of Takahashi, Raikyuji Temple offers a tranquil escape immersed in classical Zen aesthetics. The temple once served as the residence of Kobori Enshu, an iconic feudal lord, architect, and tea ceremony master celebrated throughout Japanese history. Visitors can gaze upon its prized dry landscape garden, renowned for its wave-patterned hedges and rock arrangements that evoke the undulating sea. It is an essential stop for admirers of traditional Japanese garden design and peaceful temple architecture.
