Priests in this temple artistically design the sand in such a way to replicate water and land. This laborious process takes place every month and in some harsh weather like heavy rain or storms, remaking may be needed. You can see the gradation made by brushing the sand finely to produce such a shape.
Landscape around the garden is beautiful and serene with many tall trees, many of which are cherry blossoms, pine, maples and other Japanese trees, most of which are more than a hundred year old. On a very crowded day, it is difficult to enjoy the garden so it is best to go on a less crowded day - such as weekdays in early spring.
