Ryoanji Temple - Kyoto - 龍安寺

Ryoanji Temple (also known as Ryoan-ji), has Japan’s most famous zen rock garden! Originally designed for and used by a rich aristocrat during the Heian Period, the site was later converted in 1450 into the Zen temple we know today which belongs to the Japanese Myoshinji school of the Rinzai sect of Zen Buddhism.
Despite its fame, Ryoanji rock garden is still a mystery as to its construction date, who designed it as well as the real meaning behind its design. Some believe that the rock garden represents a tiger carrying cubs across a pond or of islands in a sea. Others claim that this rock garden represents an abstract concept like infinity.
One thing is certain, however, due to its unique design viewers will never be able to see all of the rocks at the same time, as at least one of the rocks is always hidden from the view.

Hi my good friend Tokyo Street View, I must say that it is truly wondrous that you have managed to captures such beautiful and wondrous shots of this temple in Kyoto city of Japan. I have appreciated it fully and will continue in the future.

Once i was there and i noticed that something was smelling like burned wood, so i looked everywhere and realized that someone had forgotten or dropped his or her glasses and that they were on the wooden railing in the sun and that the lenses were burning the wood, so i picked them up and contacted one of the monks, because i was worried that someone might placed those glasses there again and also to let them know about the burned part on the railing. The monk took the glasses and asked me to wait here a minute, He came back later with his superior i guess and a present for me. It was some Japanese confectionery and i was so grateful. They told me that they wanted to invite me to visit the temple's area which is not open to the public and to have a cup of tea. I had to go catch my bus so i had to decline and was mortified. They took me behind the Zen garden and one of the monk gave me a small bag of white gravel and fifteen black pebbles and gave them to me for luck and told me to place them in a little wooden box. Today i have a miniature Zen garden with gravel and pebbles, which might be the only other authentic Ryoanji Zen garden in the world. These were presents so they mean the world to me, but people please do not pick up gravels and pebbles from the garden !

when do you think it'll be safe to move their with everything going on?

I really don't know. I would argue that Japan is not China or Italy, but you still have to go through an airport and a airplane... These worries me a lot more.
