Raikyu-ji Temple Garden

Raikyu-ji Temple is said to be one of the Ankoku-ji temples built by Ashikaga Takauji in various provinces, and its garden is a nationally designated Place of Scenic Beauty. The garden is a dry landscape garden built by Kobori Enshu, who was appointed to the area as the magistrate of Bitchu Province, and is attracting attention as a garden that shows the origins of Enshu gardens. Completed in the early Edo period, it shows characteristics of the late Momoyama period, and it is valuable that it has been preserved in its original form.
