Koraku-en - Renshi-ken's Koi Pond
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. Also, the presence of colorful koi accentuate the aesthetic quality.
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.
