One of the attractions of Japanese culture is the Japanese garden. We have found a place where you can actually experience creating a miniature garden yourself while expanding your knowledge of such Japanese garden culture. Please visit this place when you travel to Kyoto.

It says the second part of this video's is private. I can't see it 🥲
I can see why viewpoint D is popular, looking at it gave me the impression of something you can come across while walking inside an actual forest. A and C are more "open views" letting you see far to the horizon or take in the whole pond, but if you're aiming for a more "natural" experience the slightly overgrown and dense impression D leaves feels more striking. A and C are more clearly "man-made" to provide a very scenic view, but that intention feels more "hidden" in viewpoint D.
What is that shirt called the guide is wearing? I see something very similar in Japanese carpentry videos I watch.
I visited Murin-an three years ago, and even without knowing all this background information, I found the garden absolutely gorgeous. I will look forward to visit it again during my next trip to Kyoto.
THANKS 🙂
The garden even very amazing to view! Everything was so relaxing and calm…
0:22 I can't be the only one that, at first sight, saw a QR Code on that duck
This is a very relaxing video
So beautiful! Thanks for sharing 😄
as a gardening student, I find this absolutely fascinating.
I love gardening. And usually when I tell people that, they ask what I grow. My response? Peace and tranquility. Its not about the products you end with, its about the feeling you get while doing it.
I absolutely loved the guide. You can tell how much he loves the garden. Very polite and knowledgeable. Great video
What a great video! Visiting gardens is one of my favorite memories from my trip to Japan, and now I feel like I know so much more about them. Next time I go I know I’ll appreciate them even more. Thank you!
Your contents are always top notch! Thanks for these Shogo! I have a lot of info on Japan despite not having the chance to visit because of the pandemic
Man The place is so beautiful that I feel like I want to live there
Just a side note on what you described as western gardens, these are French formal gardens but English landscape gardens try to emulate nature too. It's not one formal bloc of culture.
I deeply appreciate this venture. Thank you for sharing this tour. I was born and raised in Hawaii. Growing up, we had many examples (on a smaller scale!) of Japanese influenced gardens and hybrid landscapes; but no one has ever explained the aesthetic goals. Nor has anyone explained mosses. I grew up petting cute, bright green, velvety mosses. I am fond of Nature. I understand mosses better now. This has truly been a mini education and an interesting one. Thank you!
Absolutely mesmerizing
I give it a 9/10 if they added more flowers, moss, cherry blossoms and trees, it would be PERFECT 99999999999999/1
I'm disabled, and walk with a cane, but I'd very much like to visit places like this. I often find, especially while traveling, that people will limit what I am offered, or offer me a more limited version, without even asking me. I am concerned that the Japanese tendency to avoid social conflict, and to be polite to visiting foreigners, will make this extremely common. My inclination would be, before beginning a tour, to say "please, show me around as you would any other visitor. I have some understanding of the layout here, and I believe I can handle it all. If you have any concerns along the way, please ask me about them, I will not be at all offended. I wish to enjoy what you have created just as you would wish anyone to enjoy it." Would I be out of place to say this? Is there a better way to handle this situation? Thanks!
