The Ultimate-authentic Japanese Garden Tour

Did you know that the word 'Architect' was not a part of the Japanese language until the Western culture arrived during the Edo period? Before that, the gardener had the responsibility of being an 'architect' and builder. This goes to show how deeply integrated the garden is in Japanese architecture. The garden is considered as a room in the architecture, and architecture is integrated into the garden. Japanese gardens are versatile and come in various sizes, ranging from a walking garden to a 'Tsubo niwa,' which is a pot-sized garden. You wouldn't want to miss exploring the beautiful walking garden of Nara and the traditional gardens in a private dwelling. During the visit, you will have the chance to explore both private and public gardens and their relation to architecture and people. You will realize that there is no excuse not to have a garden in any space!
