Raikyū-ji, Buddhist temple in Takahashi, Japan
The temple features a Zen garden with carefully arranged stones depicting a turtle and islands among ocean waves in front of the main hall.
The temple was designated as the official Ankoku-ji temple in 1339 by Ashikaga Takauji to commemorate those who died in the Genko War.
The garden combines elements of dry landscaping with borrowed scenery from neighboring hills, following traditional Japanese design principles from the Edo period.
Located 15 minutes from Bitchu Takahashi Station, the temple welcomes visitors from 9:00 to 17:00 with an entrance fee of 400 yen.
The garden contains two stone formations named Crane and Tortoise, symbols of longevity that have remained unchanged since their placement in 1609.
