History
Rinshoji Temple, hidden deep in Ena's mountains, expresses Zen aesthetics in its highest form. This garden here is no mere landscape—it is the manifestation of Zen truth itself. When visitors sit and observe it, something awakens from the depths of the heart. The timeless meditation that occurs is realized only in this ancient temple.
