水前寺成趣園・ 熊本 Suizenji-Park Kumamoto JAPAN
Suizenji Jōju-en is a Japanese garden located within Suizen-ji Park 水前寺公園 in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan. The main tsukiyama is a representation of Mount Fuji. Lord Hosokawa Tadatoshi began construction of the garden in 1636 as a tea retreat. The park was named after a no-longer-extant Buddhist temple called Suizen-ji, and now hosts Izumi Shrine, where members of the Hosokawa family are enshrined, and a Nōgaku-dō, a Noh theater. Lord Hosokawa selected this site because of its spring-fed pond, which clean water was excellent for tea. The thatched Kokin-Denju-no-Ma teahouse was originally in Kyoto's Imperial Palace, but was moved here in 1912, and the garden has been declared by the national government a historic site of scenic beauty.
The garden reproduces the 53 post stations of the Tokaido, the important road, which connected Edo with Kyoto during the Edo Period, in miniature form.

This time, I will introduce the park in Japan!
The place is Suizenji Jojuen Park in Kumamoto city!
A lot of travelers from overseas will come in the old Japanese garden park!
(Quoted from Kumamoto City Official Guide)
Suizenji Jojuen Park is a traditional Japanese garden landscaped around a natural spring pond.
The area was originally the site of Suizenji temple, constructed in 1632 by Lord
Hosokawa Tadatoshi of Kumamoto. Sometime later, his grandson, Lord Tsunatoshi, built the garden around the temple into its current form. The placement of the pond, trees, and hills were supposedly meant to represent parts of the 53 Stations of the Tokaido, a famous route that
ran from Edo to Kyoto, and included in the landscaping is a miniature Mt. Fuji.
The Kokin-Denju-no-Ma teahouse located inside the park was brought from Kyoto
in 1912 and is now a place were visitors can enjoy traditionally-prepared Japanese tea.
Izumi Shrine is located on the north side of the park.

Set in a beautiful natural environment, Adachi Museum of Art is well known for its superb Japanese gardens.
Adachi Zenko, the museum's founder, traveled all across Japan, collecting pine trees and rocks for the landscape gardens and putting his heart and soul into their creation. The six gardens, with about 165,000 square meters in total, show you various sceneries by season. You can enjoy the beautiful harmony of nature through art.

Japan's BLACK CASTLE｜Day 74 - Shimane
Matsue Castle (松江城, Matsuejō) is one of only a dozen original castles in Japan, meaning that its main tower has survived to this day through fires, earthquakes and the anti-feudal demolitions of the Meiji Period. It is sometimes called the black castle after its darkly-colored, austere exterior.
Matsue Castle was completed in 1611, a few years after the last decisive battle of feudal Japan. In 1638, the fief and castle were reassigned to a branch of the Matsudaira clan, relatives of the ruling Tokugawa. Perched atop a hill and surrounded by a moat and thick walls, the castle was built to withstand a war, though, thanks to the timing of its construction, it never actually saw a battle. Major renovation works were undertaken in the 1950s to further preserve it, and the interior of the main keep now houses a museum displaying period arms and artifacts.
Izumo Taisha (出雲大社) is located in the city of Izumo in Shimane Prefecture, a one hour train ride west of Matsue. It is one of Japan's most important shrines. There are no records of exactly when Izumo Taisha was built, but it is often considered the oldest shrine in Japan, being already in existence in the early 700s as revealed by the nation's oldest chronicles.
Izumo used to be ruled by a powerful clan in pre-historic times, and the region plays a central role in Japan's creation mythology. The main deity (kami) enshrined at Izumo Taisha is Okuninushi no Okami. According to the creation myths, Okuninushi was the creator of the land of Japan and the ruler of Izumo. He also became known as the deity of good relationships and marriage. Visitors consequently clap their hands four times instead of the usual two times during their prayers: twice for themselves and twice for their actual or desired partners.

Walking around Suizenji-Koen Park in Kumamoto, Japan
September 2011
Kyushu Island, Japan: Suizenji Jojuen Gardens in Kumamoto
Suizen-ji Jojuen Garden represents the 53 stations along the Tokaido Road traveled during the Edo period from Kyoto to Tokyo (then Edo). Tadotoshi, the third lord of Hosokawa began its construction in 1636 and it took around 60 years to complete.
Although very scenic and serene, my particular highlight was watching a gardener meticulously prune every single itsy-bitsy pine needle by hand. Particularly, since I come from the pruning school of loping off branches!
Japan Rail Trip #2: Izumo Taisha Shrine & Tamatsukuri Onsen 出雲大社＆玉造温泉／島根
CC for Japanese ★CCにて日本語要約あり ★下部に日本語説明あり
We arrived at Izumo-shi (shi means city) after spending the night in an over night train. Took a bus for about 30 mins to Izumo Taisha Shrine, which is one of the most famous shrines in Japan.
It was very cold in Shimane, unlike Tokyo before we left it was very warm.
It's said that if you pray at Izumo Taisha, you can meet right people / person, get a right job, right partner, fertile, money and so on ...
After leaving Izumo Taisha, we went to famous rock at a beach and one of the old lighthouse in Japan. It's Hinomisaki lighthouse.
Also there was another shrine basically same Japanese shinto god are worshiped there. The view from the lighthouse is great.
Then we moved to Tamatsukuri Onsen (hot spring) where we stay a night. Nice hotel (was on promotion and good reasonable price), both hotel and Onsen were very relaxing, gorgeous.
Onsen water makes June's (probably Nige's as well) skin fresh and smooth, it's recommend for women for anti-aging and for everyone for their good health.
夜行電車「サンライズ出雲」で出雲市に到着、出雲大社に向かいました。日本では有名な出雲大社、縁結びにご利益があると言われています。恋愛に限らず友情や人間関係にもご利益があるとされています。健康や平和や人々との良きご縁を祈りました。
出雲大社を後にし、その後は日本で一番古い灯台と言われている日御碕灯台に向かいました。まずは徒歩で神社が祀られている岩が有名な稲佐海岸に立ち寄り、その後バスで日御碕灯台に。
日御碕灯台の凛とした様子も、そこからの眺めも素晴らしかったです。ここにも別の神社、日御碕神社があり、そこでも出雲大社と同じ天照大御神、そして素盞鳴尊が祀られています。
その後は玉造温泉に移動。温泉大作戦というドラマに出てきた「ホテル玉泉」に泊まります。ポイントで安く泊まれたのですが、とても良いお宿でした。温泉も広々。お肌がすべすべになりました。美肌の湯としても有名で、女性には特におすすめです。
玉造温泉の街には小さな川が流れ、風情を醸し出しています。
