Tenjuan Garden (Nanzenji Temple) Kyoto, Japan
Not so zen when the gardener is blowing leaves that emitted gas that was unbearable. Oh well....
Gardens of Tenjuan, a sub-temple of Nanzen-ji in Kyoto.
Tenjuan (天授庵) is one of the most historically important temples of the Nanzen-ji (南禅寺). It was built in 1336, during the reign of Emperor Kōgon (光厳天), as a dedication to the founder of the Nanzen-ji, Daimin Kokushi Oshō Mukan Fumon (大民國師和尚-無關普門).
The eastern garden in front of the main hall is a rock garden. A stone footpath, embedded in white sand and green moss, runs from the main gate to the Main Hall. The footpath was constructed in 1338, just a few years after completion of Tenjuan.
The southern garden is a good example of 14th century landscaping in Kyoto. The two central islands epitomise this style. A long peninsula extending from the study and a smaller peninsula extending from the other side meet to form a curling clasp, creating an eastern and western pond. The placement of the rocks near the waterfall indicate that the garden dates back to the original construction of Tenjuan.
Nanzenin temple and gardens, Kyoto, Japan travel video
Nanzen-Ji in Kyoto, Japan is a vast complex with numerous subtemples, gardens and shrines sprawling up the hillside, including another pebble garden, hiking trails, waterfalls and a mountain glen.
Nanzen-ji was bestowed the title of “First Temple of the Land” and is considered by many to be the most famous and important Zen Temple in the world. It's designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Nanzenin is a smaller sub-temple behind the main Nanzen-ji, and it's one of the oldest and yet one of the least well-known sub temples, perhaps because it's slightly hidden away. It started out as a retirement villa for the Emperor Kameyama.
Perhaps the main feature of Nanzenin is the small pond and quiet moss garden surrounded by Momiji trees and azaleas. And the pond has several tiny islets including one that shaped like the character for heart.
The pond garden was built in the strolling style representing the late Kamakura period and retains an image of beautiful scenery surrounded by deep forest with an exceptional atmosphere of peace and tranquility. It was designated a national historic and scenic site in 1923.
It's a very small garden that you could walk around in five minutes and exit but it's so pretty that it's certainly worth stopping and standing and enjoying each of the views from its own particular angle, which of course is the way these gardens are designed. They are strolling gardens, so the idea is to walk along with your eyes open and stop here and there, look this way, look that way, and enjoy all the different views as they unfold.

天授庵では、青葉と水鏡が美しい中、法要が行われていました。
In Tenju-an, when the green leaves and water glasses were beautiful, a priest was praying at Buddhist memorial service.
Walking in the eastern parts of the city, you are never far away from world famous temples or gardens, and Nanzen-ji is one of them. Some of the old subtemples remain and a few of them are open to public, like the Nanzen-in and Tenju-an gardens. Nanzen-in used to be a part of the emperors palace garden, and Tenju-an is the first place that was converted into a temple by the emperor. The birth place of the Nanzenji. Both Nanzen-in and Tenju-an has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that it is hard to tell if there is anything left of the original designs, but they are beautiful places no matter what, and has been designated as important historical gardens in Kyoto.

Places to Go: Nanzen-ji Temple
Formerly known as Zenrinzen-ji, Nanzen-ji is a Zen Buddhist temple in the Higashiyama area of Kyoto. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, it is one of the most well-known Rinzai Zen temples in Japan. It was originally Emperor Kameyama’s retirement villa and it includes a temple hall and garden centered around a pond. Nanzen-ji is home to a sanmon (a great gate that holds importance within Japanese Buddhist temples), an exquisite European style canal and also multiple sub-temples, each with its own charm. You can enter the Nanzen-ji complex free of charge, but the Abbot’s Quarters and each sub-temple has its own entrance fee. The area is one of Kyoto’s best spot to view the romantic red and orange autumn leaves in the fall.

Heian-jingu temple and gardens, Kyoto, Japan travel video
Arriving at Heian-jingo in Kyoto, Japan. This is actually one of the newer temples in Kyoto, built at the end of the 19th century, and of course built in a very traditional style. This kind of architecture really dates back 300, 400 or even 500 years.
This reproduction of an Imperial Palace was constructed in 1895, complete with shrines and a vast garden complex with ponds, islands and Chinese-Japanese-style landscaping.
And it’s a very large temple complex with some beautiful gardens out in the back.
There are always well-tended paths through the gardens
Notice all of the colors in the trees. We were quite fortunate to be catching the tail end of the fall season. Even though it's the first week of December the weather was fairly moderate, and generally the colors do linger into the early part of December.
Often you have a pond or several ponds like this with pretty reflections of the vegetation.
The temples have wonderful wooden architecture, and yet the gardens all around, probably is even more of an interesting attraction than the buildings themselves.
One reason this grand temple and gardens were created in the late 19th century was in reaction to Kyoto being replaced as the capital of Japan, by Tokyo. For 1000 years Kyoto had been the capital of the country and when the capital was moved to Tokyo in 1868 it caused some decline in the prosperity and mood of the city and this temple was constructed 30 years later as a response of the city to revitalize.
The garden all around the pond is 30,000 square meters in size and divided in four sections with a variety of birds such as kingfishers and large falcons.
Here's a gardener out in a boat reaching some of the areas that are on islands in the middle of the pond.
Afterwards you might take a walk through the public park in front towards the huge metal torii – biggest in town – and consider a visit to the National Museum of Modern Art, with its large collection of paintings and ceramics. The Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art is just behind.

The 28 guardian deities stand in front of the 1000 Buddhist Kannon have their origins in Sanskrit texts of Hinduism.
