Raikyu-ji Temple

A zen garden hidden away in Bitchu Takahashi

If you find yourself in Bitchu Takahashi with time on your hands (waiting for your chartered taxi to the local castle, perhaps), check out the gardens at the Raikyu-ji Temple. Designed by Kobori Enshu, one of Kyoto's renowned garden architects, the dry garden is a beautiful collection of raked stones, stone lanterns and azalea bushes that burst into color in May. The temple is a 10-15 minute walk from the Bitchu Takahashi station and costs ¥300.
