Shinnyo-do Temple, located on a hilltop along the Shirakawa River, has been a Tendai sect Buddhist training school for 1000 years.

They are located in Shoin Hall. Although these gardens are relatively new, when sitting on the tatami mat and looking out at them, I felt truly purified. Tranquil and clear air flows freely here.
