I’ve spent the past several years living in Japan writing articles about my favorite Japanese gardens… Can’t wait to visit you on my next visit to my beautiful home state of Michigan!

Moved to Saginaw in 2018 and still haven’t gone for some reason. Looks so beautiful. Glad I now know the history before going. Thanks! What a great video!!
Wow, how beautiful! I can't want to visit this year!
We have a bridge very similar in downtown Huntsville, Alabama (Brahan Spring Park). The bridge was made in Japan.
Wow I like Tea House
I've spent much of this summer making 7 benches and the wooden parts of 8 signs for this beautiful space. I feel so honored to have my work along side the work of such craftsmen and look forward to attending a tea ceremony soon.
Amazing history and place. Truly art. 🙂 So glad to have been able to watch this!
Can’t wait to go!
Everything deeply considered and expressed travels through time .
