Memories of Kenrokuen Garden, Japan
gardening

Image by williamcho
Kenrokuen Garden is one of the three most beautiful gardens in Japan, along with Kairakuen Garden in Mito City and Korakuen Garden in Okayama City. It is designed for the stroller’s pleasure and the name KENROKUEN literally means "garden combining six," referring to its six focal themes of beauty: extensiveness, quiet seclusion, artificial construction, antique elgance, abundant water and wide prospect. It covers an area of twenty-five acres with hills, man-made winding streams, tranquil ponds, and waterfalls.
