Japanese gardens are admired for their beauty around the world. Zen gardens in particular are known for their use of rocks and gravel to represent land and water. But there are other types of garden, such as the relatively rare Heian gardens and "borrowed scenery" (shakkei) gardens. All of them can be seen at temples in and around Kyoto.
