Shokoji in Yamane-cho, Hiroshima where I sat Zazen regularly from 1995- 2000
That must have been a great experience Shokai.
I googled this temple, if I found the right one it looks like an oasis of calm and antiquity in the middle of a modern city, I like that juxtaposition.

I'm surprised I didn't see something of this dry garden in the tor sites

View of the Tsukubai in the dry garden at Shoukoji in Hiroshima, Japan. This view is from the side of Hiroshima Mountain facing the epi-canter of the Atomic blast which took place on August 6, 1945; approx. 3km away. At that time and for a short while thereafter, this area was completely desecrated and barren. And now, as can be seen, it enjoys a totally vibrant and spiritual atmosphere.
