Japanese gardens are traditional gardens formed by spatial designs that capture natural beauty and incorporate Zen philosophy. Skillfully arranging stones, water, and plants, these gardens offer spaces to enjoy seasonal changes. Historically significant gardens are scattered throughout Japan, including Ryoanji and Kinkakuji in Kyoto, and Hamarikyu Gardens in Tokyo. Visitors can experience Japanese aesthetics and views of nature through quiet strolls. Many gardens also feature tea houses, allowing visitors to experience Japanese culture while enjoying garden views.
