Ryoanji-Temple
Full of mystery, Japan's most famous Zen garden

Ryoanji temple is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kyoto and designated as a World Heritage Site.
It is well known for the dry landscape garden and the stone basin carved with the Zen teaching that I am content with what I am.
In other words, being spiritually rich is important.

Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana visited Ryoanji temple and gave compliment about the garden.
There are 15 rocks, but we can only see at most 14 rocks. How many rocks can you count?
