Mōtsū-ji Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Japan.

An amazing place, we drove there ourselves. Within the precincts of Mōtsū-ji Temple, there is not only a vast Jōdo (Pure Land) garden, but also an area where you can view up to 30,000 irises, as well as various ruins and a treasure museum. With Mount Tōzan to the north as a backdrop and Ōizumi Pond at the center, the surroundings feature sandbars, water-dividing stones that mimic waves crashing against rocky shores, standing stones resembling breakwaters, and rock formations in the style of dry landscape gardens, creating an enchanting natural scenery. This garden has preserved the ideas and techniques from Japan's oldest gardening book, the Sakuteiki, for over 800 years, still harmonizing beautifully with the surrounding trees and landscape, maintaining its original beauty. The temple's introduction is written clearly, so even first-time visitors won't have to worry about where to go for worship.
