Sorinji Temple in Ube City is a historic temple said to have been founded in 777, known for its beautiful "Ryushintei" garden that retains the Muromachi-period style. Considered one of Yamaguchi Prefecture's oldest gardens, the space created by powerful stone arrangements using the background mountains as borrowed landscape and the quietly flowing pond exudes a style concentrating Zen aesthetics. Especially during the autumn leaf season, colorful trees decorate the old garden, enveloping it in a sacred atmosphere suitable for self-reflection in silence. By touching the traditional Japanese garden art and the quiet presence of the temple where a long history is carved, you can experience a peace that purifies your mind and body at this precious sanctuary.
