Do you understand the beauty of Japanese gardens? Different types of Japanese gardens have their own beauty. The beauty of Kiyosumi Garden may be found in its compactness, with a pond at its center, and the many famous and huge stones scattered throughout the grounds.
Hama-rikyū is a large garden floating on the sea with a structure that incorporates seawater into an interior pond. The garden was created by Shogun Tokugawa, who ruled Japan from Tokyo and used it as a reception space for nobles and as a place for falconry, a unique Japanese hunting method.
