Highlights of Tojiin Temple
Tojiin Temple was founded in 1341 and serves as the family temple of the Ashikaga shoguns. Although it was devastated by fire during the Onin War (1467-1477), it was rebuilt by Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Hideyori.
The strolling pond garden is said to have been created by the renowned garden designer Muso Kokushi.
It feels very pleasant to walk slowly through this garden.
I recommend enjoying some matcha while gazing at the garden.
