Daigo Imperial Villa, Rinzai Zen Temple.

Tenryu-ji is one of the main Zen temples of the Rinzai sect of Japanese Zen Buddhism. It was built in 1339 on the site of the former villa of Emperor Daigo. It is said that a monk dreamed of a giant dragon rising from a nearby river, and people believed that the dream was a sign that the soul of the late emperor was not at peace, so they built this temple and named it "Tenryu" (Heavenly Dragon). Most of the buildings seen today were built in 1900. The main attraction is a Zen garden built in the 14th century.
