A truly touching Kyoto garden

竜安寺

Just beside the world-renowned rock garden Royanji, lies a tiny lifelike display for the benefit of the visually impaired.  In giving all people the chance to experience the garden with more than just the usual sense of sight, the garden’s beauty can be appreciated and enjoyed by one and all.  The care and consideration that has been shown specifically towards the visually impaired is truly touching, and makes this miniature landscape garden a definite favorite of mine.
