One of the representative traditional cultures of Japan, is surely the 日本庭園 Nihon Teien Japanese gardens. I’m sure you’re hoping to see them when you visit Japan, maybe at famous temples or shrines.

Did you know that Japanese gardens are not just one thing, and there are actually several categories of them depending on what era they were made?

So today, I will explain about the 5 kinds of Japanese gardens
that were born in different time periods. The 5 kinds of gardens were all created for various purposes and have different philosophies behind the art, so I hope you can enjoy watching this video till the end.

By watching this video not only will you be able to deepen your understanding towards Japanese history, but will also get to know the places you can go to in Japan to see each kind of garden. Even the oldest kinds of gardens that were born about a millennium ago still exist in Japan!

    for myself it would have to be a Zen garden. To allow your mind thoughts to flow out in relaxation and then to allow the garden in the place of those thoughts. So relaxing.

    When I lived in Kyoto I was within easy distance of ryoanji, so I spent a long time there. I will forever remember when one day I was looking at it for about two hours when suddenly the scale changed and the rocks became mountains. It was wonderful. I highly recommend staying there for much longer than the normal tourist route.

  9. Ronyo Faukx

    I love the last type of garden.
    I prefer the different aesthetics, and depending on my mood/state of mind, I think having both water to listen to, or no noise at all, would be great. Also, an area for a tea ceremony which whisks you away to a secluded spot would be great.

  11. Margie A

    I like the Edo period because it incorporates all the different types from the earlier periods.

  12. APEXoftheAVATAR

    Anyone else bow to Shogo when he bows at the beginning? I know I don't have to, but I feel like I should to show respect.

  13. Travis Cosby

    If any one watching this is from Virginia and you would like to see a Japanese style garden there is one in Richmond at Maymont. It's free entry. It does not seem as impressive as the ones shown in the video but it's a lovely spot to spend some time in Richmond.

  15. davey Rothgeb

    I've spent the past week watching your channel to learn about Japanese culture. I respect you and your team so much. I really enjoy the way that you present the various topics. 💙💙💙

    I was fortunate enough to visit the Tokugawa Garden during my visit to Japan a few years back. I've learned now it's an Edo style garden, and walking through it was truly an amazing experience.

  21. GCAT01 Living

    I think my favorite would be the Heian. I love water so the idea of floating in the middle of a peaceful garden writing poetry sounds amazing. Although, I do really love the idea of the tea garden having plants everywhere what block out the city hustle and bustle and give a secluded peaceful space.

  24. Lycoris Lili

    I'm so happy to find a video like this. Japanese gardening techniques or patterns and bonsai was a large part of my upbringing and it is probably what sparked my interest in Japanese culture. <3 I wish I could visit many gardens and bonsai masters one day with my father.

  27. Aaron Sensei

    Adelaide has a beautiful Japanese Garden it has both the zen garden and flowing water, its circular and scenery changes as you move. I love it. The 5th one is what we have here

  31. María Martínez

    There are Japanese gardens in Santiago of Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina. The Embassies donated them (as far as I know 🙂

  32. KatieMH

    I kinda like them all but I really enjoy gardens in general. Though Tea gardens sound the nicest to me. A place that well take out out of the real world and into another place sounds really nice.
