Description

Kiyosumi Garden is a traditional Japanese stroll garden located in Fukagawa, Tokyo. It was constructed along classic principles in 1878-85, during the Meiji Period, by the shipping financier and industrialist Iwasaki Yatarō. By subtle hints in path construction and placement the visitor is led on a walk around the lake. Water-worn boulders were brought in from all over Japan, to give the garden its character; hills and dry waterfalls were constructed with them and two sequences of them form stepping-stones (isowatari) across small inlets of the lake, which almost completely fills the garden, allowing a pathway of many picturesque episodes around its perimeter. In fact only a narrow band of perimeter planting screens the garden from the structures along Kiyosumi Dori. There are three big islands and a teahouse on the pond. The garden covers an area of about 81,000 square metres. Source: Wikipedia

Greatest Place On Earth

If you live in the United States especially you will know that people call Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida the Greatest Place On Earth, well I think whoever started that name may want to take a visit to Kiyosumi Gardens. This place is so wonderful and beautiful! If you are looking for a peaceful, tranquill, exciting, ineresting place to go see go to the Kiyosumi Gardens. If you have children they will love it to no matter what age. I guarantee if you go you will have a wonderful time.
