This is a garden surrounding a temple that we visited - the gardens have been there for centuries. This photo was taken on an overcast day in spring. We were unlucky on our sightseeing days because we had light rain and clouds. Here is the wikipedia link which has better photos:

This is a karesansui zen garden. It was made of rocks and gravel with some moss as well. We sat and viewed the garden for about ten minutes. The longer I sat there, the more details I noticed about the garden. It was very crowded here, despite the drizzle, as this garden is very famous.

I wish I'd taken more photos in japan that were garden related! But we spent most of our time in Tokyo.
