Ryuten Pavilion - Creek
I love this shot... Near the Ryuten pavilion is a small stream with beautiful stones, overhanging pines, and crystal clear water. The sun just happened to be reflecting on the surface. The ryuten pavilion was supposedly a resting place for daimyo when they visited the garden.
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.
