The Rock Garden, Kyoto. We visited the Rock Garden after that. You enter a building and take your shoes off, and then you make your way to a viewing area, where you can sit and just look at the rock garden. I can see how sitting there, admiring the patterns in the rocks, could be very relaxing if half the building wasn’t being renovated. The hammering sort of threw off my zen moment, sadly.
