Sanzen-in is the main attraction of Ohara, a small village north of Kyoto. It was founded 806 by the monk Saicho that brought introduced the Tendai school of Buddhism to Japan. It has a moss garden that can be admired from the Shinden. Around the garden are several small stone head sitting in the moss. Their faces are laughing, that is why they are called Warai-jizo (笑い地蔵 � Laughing Buddhas). The best season for this garden is definitely autumn. The leaf changing in Ohara starts usually a little earlier than in Kyoto. https://japanesegardens.jp/gardens/secret/sanzen-in/

Sanzen-in Moss garden, Ohara, Kyoto Three Thousand Courts, Sanzen-in. Like mushrooms wise old stone heads grow out of the ground. They hope you'll stop soon And decide to settle down, stop going round and round.�
