| Kyoto, Kyoto Prefecture We were thrilled to be able to visit Saihoji, Kokedera, moss garden in Kyoto in November of 2019. I’m an avid gardener and explorer of gardens and Kokedera, with its more than 120 varieties of moss, is the most magical and wonderful garden I have ever visited - made even more beautiful in November with the gorgeous display of autumn leaves. A visit to Kokedera begins in Saihoji Temple, copying a sutra from the teachings of Buddha - an incredibly calming and meditative experience. That sense of calm and peace seemed to pervade the entire garden and all the other visitors sharing our journey through the garden. It was a truly mystical experience! I can’t wait to return to Japan and visit Kokedera again. by Mary Downe Vancouver, British Columbia |
