The rock garden was designed to emphasize the silent and hard atmosphere and represent an Ascetic Zen monk. The rock garden has a high reputation as a wonderful Japanese garden in local area. It is yet so popular but worth a visit. People also visit the temple for Zazen (zen meditation) in the tranquil atmosphere.
