The Suizenji Joiuen Garden


Today, I went to the Suizenji Joiuen Garden!!


The Suizenji Joiuen Garden represents the 53 Station of the Tokaido Road. In 1636 Tadatoshi, the third Load of Hosokawa, began its constraction as a tea retreat, and he also built a temple here for Priest Gentaku. This temple was called Suizenji.


Look at the picture. I was impressed with this beautiful view. Though this garden was surrounded by some office building or streets, I felt the magnificent japanese tradition.

I and my friend drew an oracle written in English. It said " Good"


If occation arises, I want to go there again!
