Eiho-ji

Eiho-ji is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple in Tajimi, Gifu and was established in 1313. The temple is a monastery known for its pond garden with a fabulous bridge over the pond listed as National Treasure. Founded by Muso Soseki, both the Kaisando and Kannondo are national treasures . The pond garden, created by Muso Soseki, has a superb view of the bridge in the center of the pond. The rainbow-shaped pavilion bridge, called Mukaibashi, is placed on the central axis, dividing the pond in two. The combination of bedrock and the waterfall, is a classic Muso Soseki touch.
