Yuushien Garden

Today we visited Yuushien Garden in Sakaiminato. I love Japanese style gardens, but this is the first one I’ve ever visited in Japan.

It did not disappoint!

Despite all the visitors, the garden felt peaceful. Even the groundskeepers had a placid air. No noisy leaf blowers to disturb the serenity, just a witchy looking broom and a bamboo rake were enough to get the job done.

As we snaked our way through twisting paths, a sea of chrysanthemum blossoms splashed contrasting colors onto all the green.

So relaxing!

By the way, do you like my new hat? We bought it at the fish market in South Korea. The brim makes it perfect for a sunny fall day.Lue lisää
