\nSaihoji Temple is located in western Kyoto and it is the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism.
\nThe temple is known for its beautiful moss garden so it is commonly known as Koke dera.
\nThe temple was originally the site of Prince Shotoku’s villa before turning into a temple by the Buddhist monk Gyoki in the Nara Period. In 1339, the gardens were renovated by Muso Soseki, a Rinzai Zen Buddhist monk.
\nMuso changed the mainstream of what the garden is and created the Zen garden which has strongly influenced subsequent Japanese Zen garden design. The garden in Saihoji is said to be the best Zen garden in Japan.
\nMany people are fascinated in this garden and even Steve Jobs often visited there. If you want to visit, you should make a reservation. <\/p>\n

Tenryuji Temple<\/h5>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyonaka-gozan.kyoto\/media\/koi\/sites\/10\/20200428-2.jpg\")
\nTenryuji Temple is the head temple of Rinzai sect and was built in 1339 by the ruling shogun Ashikaga the first. He dedicated to the temple to Emperor Godaigo who had just passed away.
\nThe temple\u2019s building have lost in fires and wars for eight times so most of the current halls were rebuilt in Meiji Period. Even so, Tenryuji garden survived the centuries in its original form. Created by the Charismatic garden designer MOnc Muso Soseki, who also designed the gardens of Saihoji Temple, the beautiful landscape garden features a central pond surrounded by rocks, pine trees and the forested Arashiyama mountains. This style has strongly influenced subsequent Japanese garden design. <\/p>\n

Kosanji Temple<\/h5>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/kyonaka-gozan.kyoto\/media\/koi\/sites\/10\/20200428-3.jpeg\")
\nKosanji or Kozanji Temple is located in the mountains of western Kyoto. It was founded by the Shingon sect monk and scholar Myoe in 1206. The temple is famous for its four painted scrolls from Heian Period, which are said to be the first comic in Japan, and its tea field, which is the oldest tea field in Japan. A building formerly owned by the Imperial family was also moved there. This former residence is named the Sekisui-in and is now a National Treasure. All of the original buildings on the site from that time have disappeared, except for the Sekisui-in scripture hall. It is one of the last standing Kamakura period buildings in Japan. K\u014dsan-ji takes time to reach by bus from the city center, but it\u2019s worth it for an overwhelmingly natural atmosphere and breathtaking mountain views. <\/p>\n
