Modern Stone Circle / Monolith in Honshū
At the northern edge of the Kyoto basin, in front of a solitary bus terminal in the sleepy village of Iwakura (岩倉), this obscure temple stands. Although this temple doesn't belong to Zen school, it has fine dry landscape garden (north) and pond garden (south), the colours (green inn summer, red in autumn) of the maple leaves reflecting on a mirror-like gross floor is worth visiting.
Open 9:00-17:00, admission 500 Japanese Yen (2024 price).
