Ryoan-ji really should be at the top of your Kyoto itinerary. There aren't many sight, just a small rock garden, a smaller moss garden, and an even smaller wells. Plus a pond and some trails. It's kind of out of the way, and neither as showy nor as populay as Kinkaku-hi (the Gold Pavilion). But Ryoan-ji is serene, and it's raked rock garden is a tiny gem, and one of the most famous gardens in the world. There was a nice calligraphy exhibition while I was there. Take time out from your busy sight-seeing schedule, sit in front of the garden for 20 minutes or so, thinking of nothing at all, wander the paths with no destination in mind, and leave feeling refreshed.

The famous Zen Garden. I was expecting maybe more to see since the ticket to enter was a little bit expensive. I’ll say maybe if they allowed less people every hour will be more nicer and can enjoy more quietness from the place and the garden. And you can enjoy fully the garden, just sitting there and meditating but it was April when we came, so very crowded

Beautiful experience. Recommend going early, sitting on the steps at the rock garden and soaking it up. Costs 600 yen per adult. You will need to take your shoes off, so recommend wearing (or bringing) socks. Lots of snacks, drinks, and restrooms right outside of the garden.

Cảm giác nhẹ nhàng với lối vào là những hàng cây xanh mát rượi. Tới đây vào mùa lá phong đang chuyển qua màu vàng đỏ, chạy dọc bờ ao trước chùa, tạo nên khung cảnh đẹp đến ngỡ ngàng. Du khách để giày dép ở ngoài, có các tủ kệ với ô để giày dép riêng (nhưng không có ổ khóa). Vừa bước vào sẽ bắt gặp am thờ La Hán, các bức chữ bích họa, quầy bán đồ lưu niệm như bưu thiếp, các đồng xu, chữ thư pháp... Dĩ nhiên, rhus vị nhất là khoảnh sân trước với các tảng đá được xếp theo nhóm 3 hoặc 5 tảng tạo thành một cụm. Tương truyền, đây là nơi dừng chân nghỉ ngơi của lính thời xưa. Địa điểm này thu hút rất đông du khách, mọi người ngồi ken dày ở bậc tam cấp để ngắm đá. Thư phòng 3 gian có mặt tiền hướng ra sân đá, các bích họa mô tả việ tu tập của các sư ngày xưa, nay chỉ dành phục vụ du lịch. Đây là điểm đến thú vị khi tới Kyoto.

Very pretty garden area with a wonderful atmosphere. A short scenic walk takes you through a zen-styled rock garden with chances to buy souvenirs. Combine a visit here with a trip to kinkakuji temple just down the road to fill a morning/afternoon.
