Our veteran gardener Takemura gave a guided tour at the Nanzen-ji Temple for an event sponsored by the Maimai Kyoto, an organization providing guided tours in and around Kyoto, to promote the Nanzen-ji neighborhood. The tour included the likes of Nanzen-in Temple, Hojo garden, the main gate while introducing the gardener's view on gardens and how varied the care of each garden could be. The tour turned out to be as unique as the individual garden in the Nanzen-ji vicinity as Takemura also talked about his favorite subjects such as stone lanterns and scenic stones.
