嵐山天龍寺

嵐山天龍寺 (Tenryu-ji) is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the Arashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan. The temple was founded in 1339 by Ashikaga Takauji, a military leader who became the first shogun of the Ashikaga shogunate. Tenryu-ji is considered one of the most important temples in the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism and is known for its beautiful garden, which features a central pond and a variety of trees and plants. The original buildings of Tenryu-ji were destroyed by fire several times over the centuries, and the current structures date back to the 19th century. The temple's main hall, called the Hatto, houses a statue of Gautama Buddha, while the Sogenchi Garden is considered one of the finest examples of Japanese garden design. Tenryu-ji is a popular destination for tourists who want to experience the beauty and tranquility of Japanese Zen gardens and architecture. In addition to its historical and cultural significance, the temple also offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere that provides a respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. #報名酒店試睡員
