[Senkoji Temple] Historical gardens are a delight to admire

Visiting Senkoji Temple makes you feel like you are in an ancient garden in a paradise:

- As soon as you push open the wooden gate, you will see a vast Japanese dry landscape garden.

- In the center of the garden is a large, neat white pebble ground, with odd-shaped boulders and old trees with twisted roots scattered on both sides.

- The path winds along, sometimes blocked by bushes, and sometimes giving a panoramic view of the garden.

- Passing by a small bridge and flowing water, clear spring water seeps out from the cracks in the rocks and quietly flows into a pond.

- Looking up, the towering ancient trees and strange rocks are facing the main building of the garden in the distance.

- At the end of the courtyard is a majestic ancient temple. Its appearance is not ostentatious, but it exudes an ancient solemnity.

- The most impressive thing is the solemn and simple beauty of the entire temple garden.

- Every brick, every tile, every stone, every piece of wood, has gone through the test of time and witnessed the prosperity of the past.

Being in this solemn and majestic ancient garden, you can feel the essence of Japanese architecture and gardening everywhere. Every scene seems to be telling people about the accumulation of history and the profound connotation of oriental culture. It is indeed a pleasing visual and cultural experience.
