The Garden of the Former Daijyo-in Temple

Designed by the legendary landscape architect Zen'ami in the 15th century, this hidden-gem garden features a stunning circular promenade around a central pond. Located just south of Nara Park, it offers a peaceful, crowd-free alternative to the city's busier sights, showcasing classic Muromachi-period aesthetics. Visitors can expect a tranquil stroll with beautiful seasonal foliage and a small museum documenting the temple's rich history.
