On Day 4 (Thursday), we had the privilege of not only viewing the temple and gardens at Tokai-an but also we were allowed to watercolor there. Tokai-an is a temple within Myoshin-ji is not normally open to the public, so this was a real treat. There are three gardens here, that of the Mind, Body, and Soul.
In addition, the retired head priest of Myoshin-ji and the 6,000 temples under it, was present at the beginning of our visit. I was overwhelmed by Tokai-an, both the architecture and the gardens and definitely didn't take enough photos, if such a thing is even possible.
