    another great video!

    Your videos are very immersive. This video is particularly welcoming; lush green carpets, waves of green foliage, ponds, and paths and pristinely sculpted gravel gardens. Even National Treasures. And, if that isn’t enough, the whole experience oozes with an enveloping history not well known by most who are not privileged with first-hand knowledge of Eastern culture.
    Many Bows!
    Gassho 🙏🏼

    Gagaku type music is perfect match for japanese gardens.

      I agree. In some events, you can enjoy live Gagaku in a garden.

    The moss always gets me in the Japanese garden 😊😊
    Then when I got out of the garden in Kyoto I noticed they sold different kinds of moss also in the street.
    No one does gardens like the Japanese not even close. But who cares visit it by shutting down your brain .. and enjoy.
    Thanks for your videos they are subtile and demand a bigger audience.

      I like the garden covered with moss. Even the rocks are covered with moss and everything is moss green. In this temple at the beginning of the video, roof tiles of the fence is covered with moss.

    Absolutely marvelous! The history and story about moon watching is fascinating. Are there full moon evening events? It would be wonderful to be there on such a night. To maintain that sand is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing.

      In 15th century it was totally dark at night without electricity. So silver pavilion must have shone subtly. But in 21st century every city around the world is bright all through the night. And it has lost the glitter.

    I love the Kogetsu dai. Thanks for posting, I hope that your arm has recovered. Could you learn anything about that coffee shop with the huge beautiful Koi? I think that the shop has closed. Best from Vancouver.
