Also known as Kokedera, this garden was founded in 731 by the monk Gyōki (670-749) on the site of a residence of Prince Shōtoku. It was later rebuilt by Soseki Musō, a great master of moss gardens. He designed this superb one, which is the main attraction of the place. The carpet effect is enhanced by more than one hundred species, colors and textures of moss. The garden is divided into two distinct levels: one wet and one dry. The place is sublime but the procedure to access it must be done in advance.

Désormais ,des agences en France se chargent de la procédure réservation (qui est impérative) pour une somme assez modique. Il faut garder à l'esprit que c'est très beau mais très cher (donation imposée de 3000 Yens). La visite du jardin est précédée d'une session obligatoire d'écriture de sutras. On peut l'abréger mais en fait il vaut mieux prendre son temps pour laisser passer la majorité des visiteurs. Si on accède en dernier au jardin, on peut le visiter avec beaucoup moins de monde (le jardin n'est pas immense et pour en profiter à plein, mieux vaut le faire dans le silence et la solitude).
