Renchi-ken 廉池軒

The Renchi-ken teahouse/rest house was supposedly the favorite resting spot for daimyo Ikeda Tsunamasa. The water is crystal clear, as you can see.

 

Koraku-en is one of Japan's three great gardens along with Kanazawa's Kenroku-en and Kairaku-en in Ibaraki. Koraku-en is part of the Okayama Castle grounds, which are just across a bridge. Originally built by daimyo Ikeda Tsunamasa, this garden dates back to 1700 and took over 13 years to complete.

 

Koraku-en. Okayama City, Okayama.
