The ancient tea garden of Saidaiji Temple in Japan is famous, although it only belongs to the pocket version of the garden.

Sam Abel's visit is unexpectedly politely but flatly rejected.

Be aware that there are no tickets and no tips. What is the reason for refusal? It's actually: it's not raining today.

It took me a long while to realize something: I am afraid that this tea garden can only perfectly present its moving temperament and charm when it is rainy and wet, right? It's the monk who doesn't want to let visitors return with a less-than-perfect look and feel, right?

Abel earnestly requested a visit, because he couldn't wait until it rained. The monk finally agreed, but it had to be after two o'clock in the afternoon.

Maybe the monk is taking a lunch break? Maybe the monk has to do his homework... Abel doesn't know either. It can only be so, this is the result of the best efforts.

Two o'clock struck, and Abel arrived. When I stepped into the tea garden, everything became clear - the monk carefully sprinkled the entire tea garden with water before two o'clock, and the tea garden in front of him was just like the beauty of the early sunshine.
