SAIHOJI TEMPLE (MOSS TEMPLE)

The Moss Temple was originally Shotokutaishi's villa.

The monks of the Silver Pavilion, the famous temple with a beautiful garden, were influenced by the design of the Moss Temple landscape.

The green carpet of moss, full of water during the rainy season, is brilliant!

After writing a Buddhist sutra, you can visit the garden.

You’ll need to apply by postcard several weeks in advance to see the temple.
